Quilt Time

It was a quilt weekend for me and I made a pretty good dent in my unfinished projects.  I sent String Bean to the Long Arm quilter and  I’m nearly done binding the Bus tabletop quilt — 2 sides done 2 to go. 

Now for the bigger challenge.  Orange Crush.  I believe I saved it from  the stash bin.  All work on it came to a stop during the family room renovation project and by then many gals were done with their OCs.   The more I looked at finished versions  the more I felt the orange was too much for my home so I reworked it and here is the new result.

Some gals who did not use orange gave their quilts different names…like Berry, Lime, or Creme Crush. What to call mine?  Hmm.  Not sure.   I think it may look nice hanging in our exercise room which has sliding doors to our pool.  The blue has the look of the water.  The rust squares resemble wood. Hmmm maybe I should  call it Wood and Water?  Whatever.  Doesn’t matter.  I’d just like to call it done.  Preferably in this life.  Geez - I gotta start working on smaller projects, cuz speed is just not in my bones these days.  Like it ever was.

I know what you mean Lucy, I've divided my OC blocks up into two smaller piles plus a few extra blocks left over to turn into tote bags, but that's as far as I've got. I really need to motivate myself to get going a bit further.

It has taken me awhile to get going too, but I decided on the original minus the border. I love your colors, it is looking great. I also love your String Bean quilt.

I used to love to do cross stitch and I would start a project and then see another one that I wanted to do. I would set the first one aside and start the second one. It would take forever to complete a project! Of course some were never completed.
