Just to keep me honest (in other words, to keep me from starting umpteen new projects!) these are my WIP's at the moment. The Tennessee Waltz I'm doing quilt-as-you-go the way Nancy Zieman does it - the big motif in the snowball blocks is a machine embroidery design, and I am stippling in the background of the stars. In the background of that picture is the snowflake made from half square triangles I designed for DH's blue fabrics - after the Boyz' tails got to it :cry: Gotta put it back together. I did manage to get a pic of it while it was still on the design wall (thank goodness!) This snowflake is to test the design; his will be bigger, and will be the center of his quilt. The last is a throw I'm working on for one of my sons, made with 2 Kansas Troubles Cranberry Wishes charm packs - I'm undecided on adding another, darker border to it.

I got reimbursed for the repairs to my machine yesterday (yea!) - and promptly ordered 32 1/2 yards of fabric (so far) - so keep me honest and don't let me start anything else except more fabric storage! :shock:

Tennessee Waltz in Progress - 2 more rows to add, then borders!

Loretta, the snowflake is all half square triangles and solid pieces so it's much easier than it looks. Set in seams and I don't even have a nodding acquaintance :lol: DH owes me - I used the coordinating fabrics to my Santa panel to test the pattern, and he liked it so much he's commandeered them!

I just played with my software until I had something that I thought resembled a snowflake - I'm leaving the rest up to him :wink:
