Minda,
Right now I am putting 288 squares face together, sewing the 1/4 inch offsets, and getting ready to slice the diagonal for 288 2 1/2 inch triangle pairs. One side is deep dark chocolate brown, the other is a red/green/yellow diamond print (hard to imagine but it's very nice). These go into a quilt called dazzler. I am making it especially for a newly purchased headboard/footboard for our bed. This piece of furniture is deep dark walnut, about 120 years old, and the headboard is 7 feet 2 inches tall. Solid walnut. The Significant Other (SO) doesn't know about this quilt.
The next one after that is called Homeward Bound from a McCalls Quilting magazine from last fall. I am not doing it all in batiks like the author did, but have carefully selected pairs of patterned fabrics to make the hundreds of different sized flying geese this quilt requires.
The last quilt I have most of the fabric for is called latilla (sp?). a southwestern motif, it involves sewing strips of fabric on a muslin base at a 60 degree angle in long strips. I'll put the long strips together with some more of that dark chocolate fabric (unless I find something I like better).
Other than that, the SO wants me to work on her "Out of Darkness" block of the month quilt that's been sitting around for a number of years. Problem is, I don't do flowers. We will see.
