I have several projects in the works.
I bought gold-threaded brown and black paisleys to enhance my good dishes. I am making 2 sets of table runners and matching napkins for me and my son's family.
Then, I have a huge cache of 1 1/2 squares in navy dotted swiss, goldish polished cotton, and white with navy for a lap quilt for my father-in-law (age 89.) I am searching for a cool pattern. So far I like a on-point, nine-patch with alternate plain blocks (since the dotted swiss also is bigger pieces.)
As soon as the quilting is done on the current project, a pre-printed patchwork teddy bears in denim blues that I am hand-quilting for longevity, I will begin. It is for my new grandson( Hunter-2 months old). I call these "drag-arounds." I give them to my grands to actually USE! I want them raggedy.
I also sorted out some pink,etc. squares that will be my granddaughter's quilt for her 12th birthday in August. Butterflies and flowers and looks like Easter egg colors.
