The Old UFO List

I have been thinking a lot about The List. My list of projects in progress, on hold, etc. Once upon a time I bit off more than I could quilt. I think I shall cull this list, and cross off those projects I’m just unlikely to get to, so that I can stop being quite so overwhelmed and work on the ones I really want to finish!

I felt like looking back and seeing the parade of quilt finishes to date. It’s amazing to see them all in one place! So many of them now live in other homes, photos are the only time I see them! This inspires me to finish my current projects in progress!

Easy Street Step 3

It has been quite a tumultuous week in my house! Emotional dramas and major appliances breaking hit the extremes, but through it all I kept thinking of being on Easy Street! I could use a walk on easy street, that’s for sure. One thing I love is the solace that can be found working on quilting. I love these little blocks of step three, the shaded four patches. Like life, even when things are in pieces and you can’t see the whole pattern, eventually something beautiful emerges.

Easy Street Step 1

I have decided to go with a solid white as my background fabric for Easy Street. So these are now my choices.

Easy Street Fabrics

The white helps with the value differential. I still intend to redye the purples, also.

Step One of Easy Street is to make four patches of the grey and the background.

Cut Strips

This is a good indicator of the color my grey turned out to be. Definitely some bluish/midnight hues, but definitely a grey. I like it.

Strips & 4-Patches

Here are some strip sets and the first of my four patches. I’m loving how the texture is showing up in the strips and in the squares. The fabric is working.

Strip Sets

4-Patch

I have half of my strip sets sewn, and 1/20th of my four patches. I have a ways to go, but I’m loving how they look!
