I still don&#8217;t know if it will be a regular feature. However, projects I have wanted to do for awhile keep springing into my head so I am doing another post. Also, I found some other patches for blocks and quilt tops for which I had already started cutting. So many projects are taking up space in some part of my head that I can&#8217;t fit them all. I thought I had better add them to this list so I wouldn&#8217;t forget about them again.<\/p>\n<p>For now, I am not dating these posts, I will just number them. I like the idea of time not passing. It seems that if I make it too easy to see how long time has passed with these projects undone, I might get depressed and I want this post to be possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>Like I said last time, some of these come from the Current Projects list (Hunting and Gathering section). I don&#8217;t know if I will keep them there or move them here. Lots to work out, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Art Institute of Chicago Fusible Quilt<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pattern: Original<\/li>\n<li>Fabric: Blue and red<\/li>\n<li>Steps: need to fuse a bunch of turquoise to something<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2010\/01\/various-sundry-saturday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Basketweave Baby<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fabric: Scrappy<\/li>\n<li>Pattern: Fons &amp; Porter<\/li>\n<li>Thoughts: I like the challenge of piecing this quilt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Blue Gradation Quilt<\/strong> (Hunting and Gathering)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fabric: blue 2.5&#215;4.5 rectangles<\/li>\n<li>Pattern: similar to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2009\/10\/finished-done-complete\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FOTY 2008<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Thoughts:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Blue Lemonade<\/strong>&nbsp;(Hunting and Gathering)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fabric: blue, purple and green scrappy<\/li>\n<li>Pattern: inspiration from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2014\/04\/pink-and-blue-lemonade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TFQ&#8217;s Pink Lemonade quilt<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Thoughts:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Easy Street<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fabric: pinks<\/li>\n<li>Pattern: Easy Street by Bonnie Hunter<\/li>\n<li>Thoughts: I really liked <a href=\"http:\/\/ldq.outlandishthreads.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daisy<\/a>&#8216;s version of Easy Street, which she calls <a href=\"http:\/\/ldq.outlandishthreads.com\/?p=346\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cherry Bomb<\/a> (she thinks of the best names for quilts) in terms of color and feel. I don&#8217;t want to copy her, but if I do this quilt, I&#8217;d like to have the same pinky-red feel to it. One challenge about a mostly monochromatic quilt is getting enough contrast.
