1) Can a work in progress just be a pile of fabric without an idea but the knowing that you need to make something? This is my fabric for the Modern Quilting Madrona Road Challenge. Yes, I know the challenge is over but our fabric for our guild went on a walkabout and got a little bit lost on the way to us. Saturday, at our sew in day, I got my pile. I traded the haystack in graphite for more of the blue wild carrot print because I have a lot of the haystack in graphite already. But I haven't settled on a plan yet. So this work in progress is just a pile of fabric hoping for an idea.
3) Using up all of those florals. You know the ones I mean? Making a quilt for a gift. And the recipient is just so going to LOVE this because she loves pink... and flowers. 15 blocks down and another 15 to go. I even made a bunch of these on my Featherweight at the sew in!!!!!
4) Going with my one block a week plan is working so far! 2 blocks of the Road to Fortune paper pieced blocks. Scrap busting!
So that is what is going on over here . Linking up with the Needle and Thread Network and with Lee at Freshly Pieced!
Love those stars and those 2 blocks. Nice bright colours!
ReplyDeleteFirst cut? I don't know exactly. I think it stays a WIP as long as you are working on it actively or in close proximity. If you abandon it or it just becomes a pile you keep moving around as you work on other projects, then it's an UnFinished Object. I have a WIP in stasis (storage) that I would totally finish if I could get to it. I obviously miscalculated how long my stuff was going to be in that unit… I really miss some of it. LOL.
ReplyDeleteLOL...if it's just the pile of fabric with an idea, then I guess I have a LOT of Wip's! =) I love your Road to fortune blocks...so bright and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I have to stop by more often. Great stuff. Still quilting up a storm I see! :-)
ReplyDeleteI've been drooling over the road to fortune blocks I've seen for ages, and I think I might have to do it soon! Our guild was late getting the Madrona Road fabric too, but not as late as yours!
ReplyDeleteI think a pile of fabric is a WIP if you are actively thinking about the quilt. If you don't start it, but move on to other projects, it is just stash :) Love the work you're doing!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have lots of WIP's but it is our creative natures that land us this way. I can't understand a quilter who only works on one project at a time.
ReplyDeleteBut I bet they get more finishes than I do!

LOOOOOOOOVEEEE the Road to Fortune paper pieced blocks! Gorgeous! And what a great idea - a block a week?! I should do that! Brilliant! I feel like everytime I come across a great idea like this I have just crawled out of the neolithic era or out from under a rock - "where have I been?!" Still LOVIN yer blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna reply to my own comment just because I know you will know what it means :) (Blush!)
DeleteThat pile of fabrics is certainly a work in progress! Incubating a new project can demand more energy than sewing it. But your quilts are all so nice that I am sure you will find a wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteMy quilt group just received a quilt top, which an older quilter decided not to finish and donated for use to use in our charity quilts. Now I know the block name - Road to Fortune.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
