Help! I need motivation ! Any hints?

[E.M. T.]

Well, even with Big Bernie gone to hospital....I managed to move a quilt from UFO to WIP !!
This little guy is English paper-pieced and I really need to hand quilt it. It will have to wait
'till it cools down. Can't sit under even a little one right now !!

Marilyn, I love it!!

[Roseanne M.]

Such a sweet quilt!

[Roseanne M.]

Wow marylin, love your hexagon quilt! Those "white" flowers look great. One day I'll make a hexagon quilt. I'm collecting polka dot fabrics with it in mind and trying to figure out the design/layout. :idea:

Love your hexi quilt Marilyn. When you say 'little' - how little is it?

What a little beauty! There is a hint of Fall in the air here in PA and you'll be ready when a crisp cool day heads your way.

That looks lovely, Marilyn, and this is from someone put off hexies as a child......

Got some motivation to cut strips for my reels last night, so I did ..... Just why did it have to wait until bedtime, so I was burning the midnight oil? My darned bodyclock is messing me about again, and I will have to work on re-training it for when we get back to school routine next week :roll:

Love the colors and composition of your quilt, Marilyn. Is that more civil war fabrics? They just look lovely!

[Nancy R.]

Very nice, Marilyn! You are just chugging along! Makes me want to get to some of my UFOs, but I'm realizing I'll need to start on my mom's angel quilt if I'm going to finish it by Christmas. Of course, it's going to be fun to start on something brand new, too! :wink:

Thanks! This one is 30 x 30+ not quite square- and the hexies are 1 inch on the side. It took a few
TV hours to hand sew those little things ! :lol: :lol: Off the the bigger town to buy groceries and supplies..saves a little !

Marilyn, what an awesome "little bitty"!!!

One thing that motivates me is beauty.
This video is captivating. Makes me shed a tear or two from happiness & sadness all at once.
Maybe it is the music that seems sad.

Wish I could capture the lyric movement in fabric. Reminds me of Libby Lehman's ribbons.
What do you think?

[Nancy R.]

Thanks, Roseanne! That was very beautiful! You're right, reminds me of Libby Lehman's work, too. Wish I could produce something like that!
