The final three projects for the "current" short list include two that were started and one that has been in the planning stages for about 7 years.
The first is a bright quilt using fabrics that Olivia and Amanda helped me pick out years ago on one of the early shop hops. Inside the basket I could see that the quilt was started, but I have no idea where it is in terms of the directions. This is the pattern, one of my favorites from Atkinson Designs.As you can see, the fabrics are all very bright. Some of them even have a nautical theme. I am curious to see what this quilt will look like when it is finished!
The next quilt is also an Atkinson pattern. This one, Confetti Stars, is a quilt I started for my nephew, William, ages ago. I have never felt really comfortable with making a "scrappy" quilt. I have trouble releasing control and letting the fabrics dictate the design. I have all of the pieces cut at this point and I have started sewing together the strips.
I just love the pattern, and the backing fabric is one of my favorites. I selected it because William's room when he was a baby had a transportation theme. Even though this quilt is started, there is still quite a bit of work to do before I can send it off to the quilting ladies. I really can't wait to see this quilt finished!The final project is the biggest of the six I have chosen for this six month period of time and it is perhaps the most awaited. This will be the second quilt made for Jason. The background fabric is a black with tiny musical notes. The pattern, as designed, uses 30's prints. For Jason's quilt I will use a wide variety of blue fabrics. This pattern seems over-whelming when I read over the directions, but I am sure that once I start the piecing it will not seem so bad. Jason's quilt is also the largest of all the projects during this six month period.Phew! Here's hoping that all these projects are completed by December 31st!
