The elephant in the room is pictured above. I'm stuck at using FMQ to fill circles into this sorta-celtic-cross-shaped-secondary pattern (in loose red outline.) I think small circles are called for to counter balance the small squares across the rest of the quilt. The 'easy' straight lines seduced me into a circular corner, very loosely speaking.
Some very old birdies fabric flew out from my stash; those birds have circles the right size for practice. So I made a half-yard sandwich. This means I actually have to sit at the machine. And practice. FMQ. Deep breath. Harmless bird sandwich pictured next.
That was the largest commitment from my To-Do Tuesday for last week. While this 'predominantly green" quilt isn't finished, there were decisions made and actions toward the goal.But check out the two cluttered areas I committed to clearing out so they could be returned to use ironing and hopefully improving my photography (boxes left contain lighting gear). (You can see 'before' photos of these disaster areas in a previous post if interested.) With no further delay -- Ta da!
I DID keep up with the quilt-alongs I've started. And here are a couple of pics.
To-Do Tuesday commitments for this coming week:
1- At least SOME free motion circles the 'mostly green' quilt, and give it a name.
2- Again keep up with the 3 quilt-alongs.
3- Post about getting my PhD in 2022 (desperately needed, lol).
