Hi there! I finished up all of my Field of Diamond blocks last Wed, March 17th. I laid them all out and it's going to be really pretty. Thurs, I sewed the first 2 rows, and then sewed row 1 and 2 together. That's as far as I've gone on it. I've been just doing a little bit of everything else but that. I made my first 12" Bargello block on Friday and 12 Mini Star blocks. Sat I made this really pretty block that I've been wanting to try. It's called a Double Aster. And today, I started trying to learn to Paper Piece. I made the square in a square and then made a block called Lucky Star #2. I still need practice, but it was fun trying to learn. Here's a bunch of pictures of what I've been doing for the past week.

Oh No! I am the same way not being able to stay focused on a project. My children say I have ADD. I love the bargello block, I am definitely going to have to try that.. Thanks for sharing and glad to know I am not the only one to jump around on my projects...

busy busy busy! Are we going to have a book put on your head to keep you still??---only kidding!

welcome to the club! hehe i get bored looking at the same fabric..i hop around to no less than 4 or 5 projects! i get them done, just now when people think i should!

You certainly aren't alone!!!

we must be related. i have a zillion UFO's. your projects are wonderful though!!!

Oh gosh Im so with ya, I do get bored on one project for to long. I am ansy right now wanting to do something but just dont know what. I love your aster and your lucky star.

Love all your quilts. I'm the same way. I think thats how we end up with so many ufo's. :thumbup:

Thank you everybody! I really want to make a Bargello now, but not the rippled kind. No, I want the twisted one that I don't have a pattern for and have never made. I'm still deciding on what to do next, so I'm still piddling. Thanks again for your interest and compliments. I'm glad I'm not the only one who "just can't seem to get it together". LOL

My poor old head is too pointed for that! :lol:

Wow, awesome projects, thanks for sharing your cool ideas!

Focus on one project!!! Unheard of!!! At least in my house, I have,.... uh...... several projects that I am working on all at once.
They all look great. Love your fields of diamonds!

Oh my goodness--I love everything!!!!
The field of diamonds is amazing... and the bargello... and your paper piecing is dreamy!!!! Double Aster is not paper pieced?? I love that pattern!!! It's so precise--and looks very tricky!

I can join in this "problem". I need to add halters and buttons to one horse/stable top, finish quilting the 4th Talk-About, and I have about 1/4 of the blocks done for Splash of Fall... it's been so nice out, so I've been outside.

Welcome to the club. I have so much planned just for tomorrow. We do get it done - some time.

Creativity can be exhausting! LOL Doing several differant projects just shows how talented you are!!

No, the Double Aster is not paper pieced. It looks tricky but the pattern is really simple. It shows exactly how to do it. Here's a link to the pattern if you want to try it. Thank you for all the compliments. Oh well! I'm off to see what I want to start now! LOL I should be finishing up that FOD, but I'm tired of working on it right now.

they are all lovely, field of diamonds is spectacular , love it.

love the stars, very nice work

Fantastic work...Yes...my word for the coming weeks is FOCUS!

I was feeling bad that I was the same way......

thanks everyone for fessing up, now I know I'm not the only one.

Danmar, I pulled out my nine patch and HST blocks from some swaps I was in years ago. They are both made the same size, with Moda Marbles black and bright fabrics. I'm in the process of putting them together based on one of your quilts, Northern Lights.

I'm going to call mine Psychedlic Lights.

Thank You!

Yeah!!!! That makes me very happy. I'm glad that you enjoyed the quilts that I posted. I'd sure love to see a picture of it! Please make sure that you post it or I'll send you my email for a sneak peek! :lol: And I agree with you! It's nice knowing that I'm not the only one with this problem or not staying focused! Thanks everybody!

BEAUTIFUL!

All of this are beautiful and I hope you finish and show pictures of them, completed.

I only work on one at a time, I don't have a place to stash unfinished projects. I completely finish one before going on to the next. I do start planning out the next as I am finishing one.

all are cute

Fantastic work!!! You have been one busy lady!!!

Great projects.

I think you are in good company. I tend to jump around when bored or can't figure ot something on the current project.

Looking good! Field of Diamonds is coming along a treat! And it's good not to do one thing at a time - you don't want to be (horrors!) a 'serial quilter'! LOL

Hi k3n! Funny!! Yeah! I got the Field of Diamonds blocks all sewn into rows yesterday. I hope to get it done soon though, as I'm losing interest in it now.

they all look wonderful

Thank You!

Oh, I know that feeling! Either a) push yourself and get it done, with the 'reward' of being 'allowed' to start a new project or b) put it away and come back to it another day! I often do one or the other when I get that 'I'm sick of the sight of you' feeling about a WIP. Ermmmm, if I'm honest, I do b) more often than a)! Hence my signature line! :mrgreen: :lol:

I'm about to start cutting into my fabric this afternoon to make my version of this pattern. It was that or start an OBW, couldn't decide so I tossed a coin! How sad am I? :oops: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I second that!!

I love the colors you have chosen. Really makes your blocks pop! Very, very nice work.

You go girl! I am the same way and just can't seem to get a whole project done...There has to be a UFO room in heaven for me to finish all of these up...or I have to live to be 500!!!

Love your field of diamonds.
Your blocks look great
Having more than 1 project keeps your creativity going.

Thank you everybody for all of your sweet comments. I love to sew and try to design my own things.
