Too Many Irons in the Fire


Or maybe I'm trying to juggle too many balls with one hand...or maybe I just have a short attention span and can only work on something for a short amount of time before it's time to move on to something new.

Although one of the projects I have going on right now is definitely not new.


This is a UFO I've worked on periodically for years.  We'll see how long I last. Right now I'm adding the frames. For the size of quilt I originally planned on making I need to make 25 more string blocks. 

I also made another Aunt Daisy block...8 out 16 are now completed.

All the sub-units to Angela's Brightly quilt, my leader-ender project, are done. I want to group block units together before I start actually putting the blocks together. 

The new project is this cute Care Bear border print. There is almost two yards of the fabric so instead of making one quilt I'm going to make two. So it won't be too narrow, I'm going to add borders down the sides only. I'll put yellow on one and green on the other. Both will get the butterfly fabric.


Making both should go quickly.

I did focus on finishing the Winter Snow Friends quilt. I was able to get the tension to an acceptable level.


Once it's washed I don't think anything will show. I used the extra backing flannel as the binding. 

I loaded Lady on the frame and started quilting it tonight.


I'm loving this pantograph. So far no tension issues. 

So, do you think I should add more irons to the fire?

You have been busy! And looks like you are going to be busy for a long while yet. I like that pantograph, too. The Snowfriends looks great. WAshing hides a multitude of sins...did you ever figure out what was the cause of the tension issues? And aren't you so happy there is none with the new?
