Tricotomania and more

Sorry I’ve been neglecting this blog. I am alive. All is well.

This week, I’ve been working on a patchwork project.

It all started when I was unpacking the fabric and putting it on shelves. I know, we moved last May but some things are still in boxes.

Anyway, after visiting Andrea and Ron I had been thinking about quilting again. And then I’d been in a local quilt shop and almost bought some fabric. So when I was unpacking fabric, I started thinking.

And I decided to work on some issues I have around creativity.

• I am often scared to put prints together. (so use a lot of solids and semi-solids)
• I don’t use florals much but seem to have a lot in stash (mostly leftovers from things Mom made for F.)
• I get stuck in the planning of a quilt and never get around to actually making one.

So I decided to just experiment. To make 9-patch squares and then figure out what to do with them later.

And to focus on florals and stretching myself in terms of what I put together.

The progress up to Thursday is on Flickr.

Today I did a LOT more but my camera battery died and then I realized that the spares hadn’t actually been charging. I’m fixing that but won’t have more photos until tomorrow or Monday.

But, I think I almost have enough for a single quilt, so pretty soon, there will be photos of actually thinking about how they all fit together.
