Hello Darksiders, what projects do you have on the go at the moment?

I'm just planning my next full size quilt. I have accidentally amassed some fabric so I'm planning the layout. It will consist of squares and rectangles of varying lengths ( all 2.5" wide ) . Hoping to start cutting and stitching over the weekend  :thumb:
Triumph of hope over experience :D

Ooh, @Lowena had a stash!  :)
I've got my quarter log cabin quilt sandwiched and have done diagonal quilting lines about 8" apart.  I can't decide what to do between them, it may just end up with more parallel lines but I feel I really should do a bit of FMQ in the spaces instead of being lazy.
Life's too short for ironing.

I’ve been making a 4 patch lattice quilt for DD using a video by Missouri Quilt Company.  I’m working systematically, instead of my usual haphazard approach, so I might get it finished this year.

I'm making an arrowhead quilt.  I've done almost a third of the blocks.  The main fabric is the Fresh as a Daisy range from Moda.

I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Not really a stash @Ploshkin  :P just left over bits bigger than fat 8ths that would breed if left to their own devices  :laughing:

Today I’ve finished the quilting on my delectable mountains quilt so I’m hoping that I can get the binding on and finish it tomorrow.

Then I have the final finishing to do on my incubator quilt. It will go to Project Linus to be sent to an Air Ambulance.

I’m leading a Puzzle Quilt as a mystery quilt at my monthly quilt group so need to get the next blocks ready for our October meeting.

When I go back to my weekly group next week I want to make some “Christmas Trees” to take to Canada at Christmas.

I've recently made a start on another Shiny Happy applique quilt. I intend to actually finish this one...properly finish it.  :thumb:

Pics will follow one day.

I’ve got my blackbirds quilt sandwiched and pinned. Need to get to a shop to buy suitable thread for quilting.

Next up will be a quilt for the new grandchild to be, early in the new year. Still in the thinking box.

I’ve got toothache and anti biotics at the moment, so impetus is lacking.

I’ve put a couple of pics in my diary. There are pictures of the first three Puzzle Quilt blocks and another quilt for Project Linus that I recently finished.

Ooh, @Lowena had a stash!  :)

The world has gone crazy  :o
As it neared the top of the grade, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could,  I thought I could."

Not a quilt like the quilting purists do but I'm embroidering blocks which will be sewn together to make a quilt for my granddaughter for Christmas/birthday (Her birthday is January 7th and so close to Christmas that it is difficult to get two major presents. This is such a mammoth project it will have to do for both!!)
I'll be updating my diary thread when I eventually get round to doing something!!
So many beers, so little time.
