I hope that counts for something. I really do need to get back to the quilting. I am still a little mad at myself for making such good progress and then getting sidetracked. I thought quilting the Whole Cloth quilt would get me back in the swing of quilting, but apparently not.<\/li>\n<li>Pointillist Palette #4: Fourth is a series of 6 quilts; needs tiny square patches sewn together. Mrs. K. gave me more PP fabric and I won some from a giveaway. I still think it is a sign that I need to work on this. Leaders and enders.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/quilts-2\/quilts-2014\/see\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See<\/a>: needs satin stitching.

I like the piece, but don\u2019t know where to go from where I am. Mouth? Hair? The attitude I need to have is that I can\u2019t ruin it; there is always more fabric.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2009\/04\/pamela-cqfa-2\/pict3895sm1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Under the Sea<\/a>: class project; like the design, but not the colors much.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2013\/09\/hexies-return\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flower Sugar Hexagon<\/a>: I have sewed enough of the hexagons together over the weekend to make the piece a normal shape. It is about half the size I want it to be, so I will work on sewing together the other half. I might start a new chunk and then sew that new chunk to the old chunk once I am done. It might be easier than sewing one or two hexagons together. We will see. I may make it a few rows longer, too.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Ready for Quilting<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I took 5 quilts to the quilter last week: Infinity Blocks, which I had thought I would quilt myself, Fresh Fruit, FOTY 2013, Star Sampler, which nothing could induce me to quilt myself, and the Young Man&#8217;s t-shirt quilt.
