Help! I need motivation ! Any hints?

[E.M. T.]

Well..here's this weekends' UFO finished ! And on to the next one !!

[Renata L.]

How do you come up with such wonderful colors and fabrics, Marilyn? I love your quilt, can't wait to see your next, but I will click on this one several more times to enjoy it!

[Nancy R.]

Marilyn - I can't believe how many UFOs you are finishing! And they are all so beautiful! Good job!!

Nancy

[Lois B.]

Holy Moley, Marilyn! You are definately on a roll. I am very much impressed. This one is beautiful too. What are the dimentions of this one?

[E.M. T.]

Thanks, Renata ! I've really gotten sucked into the Civil War reproduction fabrics ! They are so warm and comfortable !
I sort of follow the pattern picture...but using what the shop has available and what's in my collection. This one was a
paper pieced block..I printed on Stable Stuff and left it in ! Worked just fine ! Hard part was figuring out how to quilt it as
the designer does not give indication of what might be historically appropriate. Well, phooey ! Anybody have good titles
for that kind of info ? That really is a red in the cornerstones tho' it looks quite orange in the photo !

[Rita C.]

Honestly Marilyn, you could knock my socks off with the way you are knocking these blocks off! Another beautiful quilt. What drugs are you taking to keep you up all night quilting? :lol:

[E.M. T.]

Lois..16 x21.... 4 inch blocks...but paper pieced so are pretty easy to do ! That pile of UFOs is big ops: and
I haven't even got down to an older one yet !! :roll: These have all been done in the last year or so ! :shock:

[E.M. T.]

I don't do too much at night any more, Rita....eyes get too tired ! But it has been so hot that once I get the garden tended..
it's inside to sew !! I guess I could clean house ..yikes ! NO..quilting wins !!

[E.M. T.]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

It will be interesting to compare what you have in your more archelogical strata, to the ones at the top, to see how/if your tastes have changed.

Forget cleaning when you are knocking up gems like these. Lovely Marilyn

[Lorna B.]

Lorna

[E.M. T.]

Thanks ! Good for you !!

[E.M. T.]

Ooohhh, Marilyn, that is a beauty. I am working on the binding of my next UFO!

Lorna

Shouldn't that be your 'next ex-UFO'? :wink:

[Charae H.]

Marilyn! What an inspiration you are! It's been really fun to see what you are going to post next~

[Lorna B.]

Woohoo! My next ex-UFO! I started this back in 2009. I enjoyed Alex's classroom where she talked about neutral fabrics so I got her book. I collected neutral fabrics on the shop hop that year in San Antonio. I got most of the top done that year. Last year finished the top and had it basted. Just finished the quilting and binding. Though before quilting I did unsew the inner border and replace it with the fabric that is there now. Before it was scrappy and blended too much and you couldn't even see it.
