Here you see my two block projects on the design wall. We have made 25 of the Triangle Gatherings blocks so far. Hard to believe each of those blocks is made up of the same sixteen half square triangles, just arranged differently. Some of the blocks are so similar I have trouble telling them apart!
The four blocks on the bottom are from the Moda BlockHeads sew along. Every Wednesday there is a new block released. Honestly, it has not been hard to keep up with these blocks. I have also been working on my red pineapple blocks and some Civil War Courthouse Steps blocks. Lots of block projects, and no finish in sight!
My son sent me a fat quarter bundle of a fabric line he really likes, and has asked me to make him a Thousand Triangles quilt. The fabric is Bee Inspired by Deb Strain. He likes the bees but not the butterflies, so I will be searching for some more golds to replace the fabrics he doesn't care for. He loves the combination of amber and dark grey and really fell for this fabric line.
Between all this and my Stars and Baskets project, I am wondering if I have bitten off more than I can chew? I am happily puttering about however, and don't seem to get bored with it all. Wherever I turn, there is some project or other that I can work on as the mood strikes me! I know that approach would drive some folks batty. Such as organized people who like to focus on one thing at a time until it is finished! Which kind of quilter are you? Lots of irons in the fire or focused and steady?

OMG!!! Lots if irons in the fire for me. Many times I wish I could be focused on one project…only when there is a deadline!! It keeps life interesting.

Applause for all you’ve accomplished of your block projects! HSTs are amazingly versitle and they’re fun to make, too.
I’m a “lots of irons in the fire” quilter, but that leaves me with UFOs too often.
Love the fabrics your son sent!
Hugs!

I have too many irons in the fire for the amount of sewing that I do anymore. Although this weekend I did make a baby quilt, which I’m not happy with. Love the pattern, but my daughter asked me to put minkee on the back and to skip the batting as it’s going to Florida. I just wasn’t happy with the results and won’t be doing that again! Live and learn, I guess. Now that I somewhat have my quilting mojo back, I should start the Blockheads blocks before I get too far behind! I love all of yours, they’re just beautiful!

Like you, I always have a few projects to work on. That way you can work on what interests you that day.
Eventually, all your blocks will be finished and you’ll have four amazing quilts!

For me, I have a limited number of irons in the fire. Currently am working on Lisa Bonjean’s Triangle Gatherings, another monthly BOM, and an ongoing project that I can work on in between. My sewing space isn’t huge so I am not happy with too much disorganization. And I really dislike UFO’s!

I am mostly a one project at a time girl though I have an additional hand project that seems to languish most of the time. Machine piecing is still my favorite thing to do. And apparently collecting BOM patterns 😉

I am an “irons in the fire” approach but that can get me in trouble. I am saving Blockhead blocks and Triangle Gatherings because I am still working on the Magic of Christmas….in btwn other things. Love what you do!

Typically, I have a quilt in the works along with smaller projects such as bags or art quilts. I often do the binding on Guild charity quilts so there’s usually one of those calling my name, too. I’ve tried BOM’s but just can’t seem to see them through to the finish. Love the colors in your son’s fat quarter bundle!

Sadly, I have too many projects I am working on but at least I can print out the blocks and then finish up the project at a later time. Enjoy that Deb Strain project. Sounds interesting.

I figure as long as the projects are moving forward, it’s all good. Plus it’s nice to switch up to keep the mojo going.

Bee Creative (Deb Strain from last year) plays nicely with Bee Inspired – and i don’t think it has any butterflies…

Lot of irons, but it’s good to enjoy an opportunity when it comes along.
