It has been a long while since I last wrote about my bucket list of sewing related projects. So I thought, why not return to it for a change.
A Cathedral Window Quilt
Have I mentioned that I am impatient? No? Be it known then that I - Puppilalla - am IMPATIENT. That is somewhat unlucky in a quilter. =)
Therefore, I fear, while I do swoon over the pictures of beautiful cathedral window quilts, I will probably never be able to make - as in complete - one myself. I like the texture that is created by the layering of fabrics and enjoy the little fussy cuts of the myriads of fabrics, yet the sheer number of cathedral windows that would need preparing to complete a bed sized quilt is just daunting.

Still if I ever made one, the baby probably would look something like this. If anybody feels inclined to make a bed sized 'Cathedral Window' quilt for me, get in touch, so I know where to send the stack of fabrics I have in mind. =)
Project rating: Keep wishing =)
A Lone Star Quilt
For a long time, I was not even sure if I
liked the ‘Lone Star’ or not. I was constantly going back and forth
between ‘Nay’ and Yeah’. I have since decided that I do like it and even
want to make my own version but that I would have to be very sure about
my fabric choices as they absolutely make or break the project.
I have stared a ‘Lone Star’ board on Pinterest
for inspiration in terms of positioning, size, fabric choices etc. and
am happy to sit on it for a while longer until some sort of plan forms.
Not to mention that I will have to further develop my sewing skills to
be able to realize this quilt design. So viewing tutorials and classes
in parallel also goes on the To-do list.
I have however taken steps to realize the quilt at some point by purchasing an actual pattern during the 'May is for Makers' initiative.

Project rating: long term and cautiously realistic
I guess I should take 'join a Quilting Bee' off the list and add 'learn FMQ'. Also 'quilt-as-you-go' techniques would be definitely useful. Aww, there are so many things that I would like to try. Well one quilt at a time - right?
