Is it going to happen? No. Not at this time. The border is done except for the beading - which is not in the original pattern but the rest was beaded so I added beads to the border pattern. Block 4's plain X around the perimeter with assorted little bits on the inside...I can't do any more. I keep walking away to other distractions so time to put it away for a bit.
As much as I thought the dragonfly was my favorite block I think I like Block 3, with the gold and blue beads background the best.
Meanwhile, I am being called by these other 3 projects which I kitted up this week when I needed to walk away from the almost finished piece above. These have been calling to me for sometime I just didn't have them ready to go. Now they are - not in any particular order:
The only thing I'm convinced about that choice is that the white will show up. Part of me keeps wanting to try it on 32 ct Flax but I know from experience the white thread won't show up very well on that. Since I didn't finish the Dragonfly piece I can't bring myself to start this one.
Which leaves one of these as a February start:
At least I waited until February.
With the exception of the 2012 semi- BAP challenge, I finished the 2 pieces I started in January. We will see if I can continue the trend of finishing what I start in the same month started.
Your dragonfly quilt is so beautiful - I remember how much I enjoyed stitching those blocks. Whatever new project you start, I'm sure you'll have great fun.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, your dragonfly quilt is absolutely gorgeous. Love that you added more beads to it (and you're so close to a finish). Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI just bought the L*K Winter Alphabet this weekend! I settled on a light blue 32 ct linen and made some small adjustments to the threads. I can't wait to start it, but need to iron my fabric first.
ReplyDeleteGreat work!!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive! Pretty pieces.
ReplyDeleteDragonfly is just gorgeous! As a Lizzie*Kate fan, I love your two choices there!
ReplyDeleteYour Chatelaine quilt looks gorgeous. I always have to take breaks when it comes time to bead. Or back stitch. Or satin stitch. Hopefully, a short break is all you will need before coming back to finish it! In the meantime, your other three projects look like they will be lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat work, i love to see your starts on the Lizzie-Kate.
ReplyDeleteHUgs Yvon.
Your Chatelaine is absolutely stunning! Have fun with your new project
ReplyDeleteLovely work, am going to have to add Chatelaine's Dragonfly Quilt, to my wish list.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful piece, but I understand your need to move on to something else. Sometimes you just gotta walk away from the WIP! ;-)
ReplyDeletePretty projects and good luck on your next ones.
ReplyDeleteWow, some really pretty pieces. I really like the dragonfly quilt. Lovely colors.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects, hmmm i like projects :-)

You are moving right alog with this one. You'll have it done in no time at all. I want all the Lizzie Kate Alphabets but my DH doesn't really like them.
