Suggestible . . .
One wise woman, upon reading my recent post about the deplorable state of my studio said that she needed to clean hers, too, but was waiting for cooler weather.
I'm so suggestible.
Finished the binding on this quilt that Julie made the blocks for. It is a real nice quilt, not shown to its best advantage by this particular angle. It will be part of the Uvulati ingathering of mercy quilts in September, and will be donated to Rebuilding Together. Since I don't machine quilt [yet], it is tied with mushroom-colored embroidery floss.
And here are the Dresdens in their present state. Twelve plates assembled. Twelve center circles prepped via freezer paper/starch method. Three background squares cut. Ready to settle in when the Olympics come -- these will be my handwork.
There are Dresdens here and there in bloggerville and I've enjoyed looking at them. I've wanted to do Dresdens for a long time and am having a good time with them.
I notice that a particular craze will swoop across the blogs, with so many people jumping in. I must be the only person in existence who will admit to not liking Swoon and not needing to make one. Nor do I -- now, anyway -- need to do anything with hexagons. And, since I'm telling all kinds of truth, I really don't care for Flea Market Fancy. It used to be that I would see someone's quilt and think, "Oh, I must do that!" After so many years and so many foiled projects, I'm glad that I know what I do and do not need/want to make!

To show how out of touch I am, I don't even know what "Swoon" and "Flea Market Fancy" are.
I do have a hexie quilt, but I started that 15 years ago when I volunteered at a nearby heritage center. IF that project ever gets finished I WILL NOT be doing another one! : )
Happy to see those UFO blocks turned into a quilt that will make someone somewhere feel that they are cared about.
I have a problem following the crowd! but I am inspired by projects or colors, or fabrics and will use it as a jumping off point.
love the background for the dresdens (oh yes they are on my list to make someday!)
