BRP Continues

Sunday I began an all-out assault on the sewing table.



There's a machine in there somewhere!

That pile on the end of the left return has been there since October 2014!! I swear it was just last week ... nevertheless ... you can read the backstory here and here. Just know that it started innocently with a quick but necessary stop at Whittle's on my way to Fall Quilt Camp 2014.

I had left my step-out samples on the design wall at home so I selected some sweet "country" prints to whip up a quick demo once I got to camp where I was teaching Wink & a Smile. Trouble is, I fell in love with the fabrics and started a new quilt.

Wink & a Smile

In my assault I made the faulty assumption that most everything was cut and all I would need to do is assess my progress and put away any excess fabric. NOT!

I was apparently overzealous in cutting strips for the 9-patch centers; I probably had enough for 3 quilts! Plus I had about a dozen additional FQs that had not been cut. What to do with the plethora of patches?

This cover quilt is my solution.

That's what's on my design wall this week. Not on my OMG list, not even much RSC16 green. But I can now see that end of the left desk extension!
