Much ado

I'm multi tasking in a mindful way. I know I start too many things but I have only added something that does need finishing this summer and I have a deadline happening right now. ;^)

I also rush the finishing way too much so this will give me some thinking time.

I did quilting on the challenge. I also did some ripping to make it better. It is awaiting the facing as I consider if it is done.

I have a top I did as a quilt along. It is okay but not necessarily a keeper. My niece is marrying this summer and I think it is 'her'.

Now she may have some European influences in spite of being a modern gal so I got some striped backing on sale that has all the colours. Not such a great look in the photo but I'm feeling good about it. There is a golden yellow in that yellow brown.


As I was pondering the convergence I got the quilt sandwich ready. I can take the time to pin baste it as I think about the applique on the convergence. In fact I stopped pinning because I have already changed my mind about how I was going to do the MQing so I'll start pinning it differently. I was going to just do wavy lines up and down but I think a wavy checkerboard might be better. Heck, even faster!

I did cut some fusible backed motifs while I considered the MQing options and I have slept on their placement. This picture will be helping me decide if I need more/less/different, and how to finish them.

So you see it is much more than "much ado about nothing"!!!
