wondering how you make these decisions. So many options!

It usually boils down to:
-have I got something just right and is there enough of it?
-have I got something that is okay and is there enough of it?
-what else might do and is there enough of it?
-how soon can I get to the shop?

I've been doing a bit of stitching and pinning on mine  :ninja:

It's starting to come together...( it's square shaped! )... but it's still a long way to go before it's finished.

I've picked out some fabrics (from the stash I didn't realise I had) but looking for a background fabric.
Life's too short for ironing.

I think mine will be Mays BOM ... done nothing so far, just ruminated on colour choices.

Apologies but Aprils BOM will be out later today (or first thing tomorrow) as I hadn't realised today was  the first!

I've done a lot of (over)thinking.   Just need to settle on one.   -<

Well, I spent a lovely day making my cushion cover for ***** yesterday ...
Im going to finish it today and pop it in the post ***** I think.

I must say that the gorgeous ***** fabrics were heaven to  ***** with and ***** wonderful, I think I will be using those ***** in my QAYGalongathon.

I finished the cover off with some ************* and a beautiful ****** and I really do hope that ***** likes it!

Btw the number of asterisks used has absolutely no bearing on the numbers of letters in the words they are concealing!!!

I've been quietly getting on with mine too. Just finishing off a few things  ;)

I've been worried about getting it done and posted off too quickly...I don't want to create panic for anybody else and make them feel they need to rush their own make.

I'd have been like a headless chicken if I'd have received mine without having made a good start on my own effort.

Oh, and my daughter said she thinks my make is O.K. She likes it better than something else I made which we have in the house. An improvement on her last comment which was, ' I don't like it'.

I ordered some fabric as the one I had didn't quite fit and the new one isn't much better. I just threw a little extra one in the basket (as you do) cos I liked the look of it and now it has become a contender. :o Sake! Anyone would think it's the Bayeux Tapestry the way I'm carrying on.
It's because I care.  :D  :flower:

Tis done!

Its a confused size 14 but I whacked a size 16 feather inner in it and though it looked a bit too full (for my liking) it did fit, so it will be up to the recipient to decide whether its a 14 or a 16 ....tho 15 would be ideal!

I like it and would happily give it house room but its horses for courses .......

I finally got cracking on this today- and to my relief, found I already had some part-assembled components that would work.  Rummaged a bit more. Glared.  Pondered...and went for it.
The overlocker has now decided to play up, with the end in sight, and I want to put a match to the lot...and oh boy this is not my forte it's very wonky!

I apologise in advance to the recipient of this beast...maybe you can let the dog sleep on it lol :S
