So on my sidebar I have these massively long lists of things I am working on, in various stages, want to do and have the fabric or various other materials for (this is the In the Planning list) and things that I want to do but have so far resisted the urge to migrate to the In the Planning list by buying something for it. Some of the things I am working on I am attending to regularly, some I haven't touch for over a year. I don't consider them UFO's because I still plan to finish them. I am just more excited about some of the others at the moment.
But in reality this is not very up-to-date and things tend to jump straight from the 'One Day' list right to the 'In Progress' list or I start and finish things without them ever making it to any list.
Perhaps a post like this will keep things more up to date for me. Maybe I'll keep the lists on the side and update them as I do these posts, maybe not. I'll see how things progress over time.
This Week (or what I have actively worked on this week)
I've cut out the centres and borders for a Single Girl Quilt - for a little boy. I have read that some people don't like the large enxpanse of solid in this quilt and wondered what it would look like switched. The rings will be solids in the colours taken from the print - though much fewer than 31/36 fabrics in the pattern. That is on the shopping list for tonight.
I've also been cutting Flurry for a 'Curlicue Crush' Christmas Quilt for our bed. It has meant upsizing the pattern so I am adding the outer shapes in Flurry Blue and have used a FQ bundle as well as layer cak sheets, the ones that were duplicate in the pack. Still cutting but I hope to have this on the bed at the beginning of December so I had better keep my nose to the cutting mat.
Quilting is almost there in the Cherish Quilt for do. Good Stitches. The Blocks are outstanding to I have been quiliting in the coloured borders to each of the blocks in complimentary colours. I don't have three I need (who would have thought) so they are on tonights lists as well.
Some more of the solid or unpieced Octagons for the long-term Munki Munki quilt.
I've also started quilting the Sample Quilt

I tried the limiting the WIP tubs method too. Started with 5 a couple of years ago. Then bought another 4. Last week bought another 6. And I have to confess not everything has a tub.
Sometimes I feel guilty about it. Then other times I feel lucky. I mean, I'm lucky to be able to afford to have all those projects, and lucky that I enjoy sewing so much that I've started them all :) Can't wait to see a pic of the single girl you described - sounds fab!
