Pat Sloan - I'm sure this doesn't happen to you

 

I am TOTALLY sure this NEVER happens to you..

so hear me out just in case I'm wrong and you can relate.

8,562 deadlines on my desk

What do I do? Pull fabrics that go together

for a quilt

A quilt I should not be thinking about...but I am

What design should I use for this fabric bundle with the SPECIAL focus of a Peace sign fabric for a special someone?

mmmmmmm

Maybe a "Swoon" quilt by Camille (HERE)

After all there are HUNDREDS doing a Swoon Along egged.. cheered on my my friend Katy.. have you seen the flickr group yet...

it's truly hard to resist!

What do you think? A "Peace Swoon"...

maybe one peace fabric block and the rest for the back?

or should each block have some "Peace Man"?

FYI - this DOES count as a Journey quilt... incase you wondered

******************************************

Today I have a some tool tips AND Carrie Nelson is guest posting and it's jammed with amazing idea! hold on tight and get your organization 'on'! ..

Oh! Yippee! I'm a ltilte shocked by how much it shrank in Step 1!I've got some great news for you! You've named was picked out of the very ugly giveaway fish. I'll be putting a post up about it soon. There's fabric and goodies coming your way. Just drop me your address. [amy.gunson@gmail.com]

We did that a long time ago and I gave her micidene that made no difference. I guess having a specialist come over to have a look would probably be the best idea but it's not really in my budget. And seeing as it's not spread to the other fish, I'm not too concerned.

I love the qtliuing as well. And the green is a really gorgeous color. It's supposed to be 101 degrees here today. Ugh. I long for crisp fall-like weather qtliuing weather ..

[Ashwani]

It looks great, cntargos on finishing it up! You got me motivated to finish one of my quilts as well, I just have to sew the binding down and it'll be done. So, thanks! Your dress you made earlier is adorable BTW, so cute!

[Rosa]

Congratulations are in order. That is a buuteifal quilt! Love the pattern and the fabrics that you've chosen. We visited Australia and Tasmania about 10 years ago. Met some really fun ladies and they shared their quilts with me. That was before I was even a quilter--so I'm hoping that this magazine gets out to lots of Australian quilters~~and maybe even those lovely ladies, wherever they are now!

I have found that if it is weighing heavy on my mind I can't accomplish anything else anyway. So it is best to get the details at least written down and those fabrics pulled and stored for when you do have time. Reward yourself for each must do task give yourself 10 minutes on the new project plan.

Happens to me all the time. Love swoon! I say give peace a chance . . . use it on the front and use it up.

[Debby, Chester NY]

A little piece of peace in each :)

If you are going to have peace fabric, it should go in every blog! Just a 70's girl's opinion. lol

[dianna eickhorn]

Love your peace fabric!

[Mrs. DillyDally]

I love that you are so much like us! Thank you for that! We do the same thing...have a hundred things to do...and get side tracked by something wonderful! I have made that behavior a normal part of my dillydally lifestyle! Sew...you go girl! ;-)

The purple came from fat Quarter shop but it's not there anymore. They have another purple.

Pam I need to get back to my Farmer's Wife.. oi oi oi!

[pam]

Yeah, there's always that Granny along as well.Hard to decide. You're right, lots of temptation everywhere.

[Lee Ann L.]

I LOVE that colorway. Go for it!

[Terry]

I LOVE the peace sign fabric! I found it in other colorways, but would love to get some in the purples and greens. Do you know where I might get some? Thanks!

[4dreamsr]

A little peace in every block, & it would also be good name for it!

[CathyC in Alberta]

I say Peace in every block...the larger piece (orange in one sample pic) and where's the purple man!! Gotta have the another solidish purple...we did back in the day!

[Susan Chase]

GREAT pattern--can't blame you at all for being distracted. I had to order it right away!

[Beth Friend]

A bit of peace in every block...awesome!
I am really enjoying the Learning Center organization tips. Great ideas.

[Linda P]

Loving the "peace" fabbie!!! I'd might like to see it featured a lot on one block then a little of only a few and yes - the back or border...........or like Margie, send it to ME and I'll figure it out!! ENJOY the journey!!

[DianeP]

If you have enough Peace Man fabric, it would be great to have some in each block. It's great fabric and it would be a shame to keep in on the back.

[Debbie Gallett]

I think you are on to something there. Love the Swoon pattern. My aunt just made my parents a quilt for their bed in that pattern in the original Ruby fabric. Can't wait to see it. I am going to make a 4 block wall hanging with that pattern, just can't decide which of my fabrics to use.

[teresamnj]

I love the fabric choices, and I love the "Swoon" pattern! I would do the center block with the peace fabric, and use the rest for the backing. It's going to be so pretty!

[Margi]

I think that Peace fabric should be sent to me and then you don't have to worry about it! I'll swoon, love, swoon it to pieces! LOL I like the idea of a "peace man" for each block!
