So even though Aunt Debby Bleeds Blue isn't done yet, I'm putting my thoughts towards the "next" project.

I had planned, before the Judy Niemeyer UFO came into my life, and then this Aunt Debby quilt that I'd be working on a sampler project that I like quite a bit right about now. Today I'm leaning towards making something more planned/less cutting. Lots of strips of fabric that go together in a top... I have an idea for a pattern, I have an idea for the fabric. I'll let it percolate while I sew on the final arcs to their foundation blocks, one set pinned and ready to go, the other set not quite enough pins.

Don't think you can really see the stitching in either picture well -- here's my hiding Seahawk fabric still pinned already sewn down ditch.

The little pie pieces will go down next, same way, and that will be enough along with the side seams to hold everything together nicely. To help me put the arcs in the right place, I made a cardboard template from the pie piece and trimmed off the seam allowance/plus overhang onto the fan blades -- have to make sure the pie pieces do cover that bottom arc.
