But I had just finished a French Braid not too long ago (well, the top is finished it still needs to be quilted). I liked the French Braid idea because right there in the book was a pattern that used TEN fabrics! All I'd need to do is find a fabric for the border. I kinda/sorta narrowed it down to a French Braid or a Lone Star. I paged through my quilting books and pages of ideas. I wanted a pattern that would take advantage of the 10 hand-dyes, use UP as much of the fat quarters as possible and not be another Forever Project. I had them sitting out in the open so I could see them and try to figure out what to do with them that would properly show off the gorgeous colors. I had purchased this pack at a quilt show a couple of month ago. ![]() Therefore, when a quilting buddy of mine commented on how much she liked the pack of 10 hand-dyed fat quarters, which were sitting on my cutting table, I decided that I really ought to do something with them RIGHT NOW before they got lost in the morass of my sewing room. I don't particularly care for working on many multiple projects at a time because it clutters up my brain but I've been thinking lately that if I don't do something to capture the idea, it's going to be as elusive as a puff of smoke. ![]() Nowadays, I find myself getting distracted by all sorts of new ideas and I want to work on that new idea RIGHT NOW before I forget it. In times past (when my gray cells actually worked properly), I could really focus on ONE thing exclusively and get it done. Once again, I am playing hooky from Jane Austen. ![]()
