Today I have been digging my car out from under ice in order to go home. The top and windshield probably had 4 inches of ice. I had to chisel my way into it with my key to be able to start it and get my scrapper. Fun times.
Things I have worked on...
My mug rugs. Gasp! I used polyester batting. I finally have used up the last of what was giving to me. YAY! For the other one I broke open one of my Sunkissed charms. No pictures of that one yet.
This scrappy quilt. I need to finish pressing the strips and cutting them. Then one I have the color pieces finished I can start cutting the white pieces. I'm sure there is a better way to do this but I'm trying to be methodical. We'll see how well it goes.
Things I haven't been working on...
This quilt needs to have the binding and then it's good for the washer. Trouble is I don't know what to bind it in. Any suggestions? The front is pink and green and the backing is tan. I was thinking a green plaid.
My hourglass quilt the blocks are all done. I need to start squaring them up. My strippy Arcadia quilt needs to have the rest of the Kona Bone cut for the strips. I have 20 left to do. Unfortunately I need to finish my design wall so I can lay them out so I can decide on their layout before I can sew them.

Wow! Those are some teeny tiny swirls (or loops?) in that first picture! I love the hourglass one (I'm wanting to make one of those soon, too) and those strips in that last one look so skinny--that should be a fun one!
Wow you have a lot going on! For that pink/green quilt, I would probably find a fun stripe, although plaid would serve the same purpose.
I love Arcadia. Wish I would have purchased some...
And your Dr. Seuss looks fun!
P.s. what is your blog font? It's super fun. I'm trying to figure out how to get a fun font on my blog. Suggestions? That question qualifies for Works in Progress Wednesday, right??
I love the Arcadia strippy quilt! So cool! That polka-dot mug rug looks great too.
Thanks for linking up with WIP Wednesday! Have a great week!
AH, I relate. I recommend 'understanding'. Apparently dopamines are released when we anticipate a happy event. That's the warm fuzzies for the start of new projects. Not too many for the end, I guess. Basting is a downer so maybe throw a party and invite basters! But ya gotta figure how to be happy at the finish. I got to the place where all my starts were beginning to depress so I had a serious talk with myself. lol Now my mission is to clean up the wips. Pick one, get it done. Pick another, get it done. Success builds success. A pretty pink and green plaid, on the diagonal would be a pretty binding.
