Last night, I started the new quilt. I got all the patchwork pieces cut out and started sewing strips. Because you've been so patient, here is the fabric I am using.
Wait. What's that fabric in the middle look like?
You mean this one?

Fabulous, isn't it? I adore it. And I'm not sure cutting it was the right thing to do. I just want to drape myself in it. But I'd need a lot more than a yard and a half to cover this ass.
Though I joke about my inability to finish what I start, I am nearing an ending. I hope the girls at Curtis Boehringer's Studio are still stopping by because it shouldn't be long now.

I also got some good news. You know how I was lamenting that my mother's hand pieced quilts really needed to be hand quilted, a skill I know not of? Last night at quilting, someone told me that I could get Amish women to finish the quilts (here, here, here, here, and here) for me. Hot damn and hallelujah. Now to get an income.

can't wait to see how your quilt turns out, loving the fabrics!
That brown/blue print is gorgeous! Could you make a scarf out of it, if there isn't enough for clothes?
Ooh, pretty. Thanks for the eye candy!
Love love love the fabrics. Gorgeous! And the apple sampler is really coming along...you're right, not long now!
Lovin' the fabrics! Almost done with the apples - yeah!
Great quilting fabrics! I can feel the finishing force is strong, you can do it!
I have to admit I got excited when Google Reader showed the first line of your post. Don't you love new starts? Those are fabulous fabrics--great job coordinating colors and prints!
Love your quilt fabrics and yep, that blue and brown is so beautiful! Love it! Your sampler is looking great - you're almost there and hey, you do finish a lot, if you ask me! Of course, I may not be the best judge since I've only had one finish so far this year and that one, I started in 2008.....
What a lovely nearing to a finish! Love that piece - and the quilt fabbies, too.
