A week has gone by....

and I never got started on quilting a quilt that I finally got sandwiched.  Here is "pick and choose" that I made during the summer - posted here in my blog.

If I'm lucky, while sandwiching a quilt I can see where and how I might quilt it.  I"ll then mark those areas with green tape so I won't lose the idea.

I've marked where I could do straight line quilting through the diagonal set squares; and something interesting in the square open space.

But, instead of getting started on the quilting, I got involved in planning yet another applique quilt.  If you've read much of my blog, you'll know how much I struggle with starting and sticking with a hand applique project.  I find lots of great patterns, then spend way too much time choosing fabrics, then I don't like it anymore, and start again with another pattern.  I'm not going to say much at this time, because maybe I'll surprise myself and actually stick with this project.  Let's just say that after several days of making up fabric sets that might work; internet shopping for ideas; and trial runs of actual sewing; I think I may have come up with an idea that I'll stick with.
