On My Design Wall


Still trying to finish UFO's. This one includes some blocks I wanted to do Stack and Whack style with a fabric I loved. It is from an older Amy Butler line and I didn't have a lot of it. So it only made a few blocks. Thought I might do a small wallhanging.



I am thinking it needs a couple of borders but nothing seems to go with this fabric. The stained wood of the trim is throwing my eye off. Maybe I need to move it to the middle of design wall. I was hoping to find something that toned down that bright pink. I guess I will have to go do a little shopping!

Frustration abounds......




I am trying to finish up my UFO's and of course sneaking in some other projects in between. Well, progress has been going well until today. Sometimes I have such a great time with the whole quilting process and other times, not so much. I do good cutting and sewing the blocks but then sewing the blocks together gets me so frustrated. Lining up everything in the blocks is great but when joined together things become a little off! Here lies where the process gets off.
I know things won't be perfect but still....right?
So I go onto another project, repeat the above, and next thing you know I have a big UFO pile again!
I am going to have to pull things together to finish these all up before the end of 2014. Though I am longing for a Christmas project for me to keep!
