New Year's Revolutions Cont'd...

My son said he was going to be making some New Year's Revolutions this year. Never too early to start making revolutions if you ask me.
On the bright side, I sewed the binding on the borders of my Australian Animals Quilt (using the fold a 3 inch strip in half and sew it along the front outside border so when you put on the backing, you just fold it over and handstitch in place). Then I pieced the backing for it. I got inspired by some quilts I saw on other people's blogs and got all in a tizzy over the backing.


On the less bright side, I got inspired by some quilts on other people's blogs and went to Jo-Ann's and bought some bird fabric!!!! That was totally not the plan! I was supposed to be finishing, not starting, quilts!

On the bright side, I laid out the Smoking Guns Cowgirl Quilt and found a layout that inspires me. We're talking nap quilts for all these projects! I just wish I had a dark brown fabric with a thin pink stripe to put between the center and the outside border. I just want to stick to pink, brown and white. You'd think in that massive fabric stash I have, I'd have one of everything.

I also got the idea to layout the Perfect Neighborhood with little roads connecting the houses using a background of white. We'll see.

And I got fed up with my mermaid art quilt and just machine sewed the snot out of it. Enough with the handsewing!
