Not sure why, but there it is. That doesn&#8217;t mean I am not working. I am. I am working on bags, but I thought it would be a good idea to have something other than an empty design wall in my studio while I worked. FOTY 2017 came to mind. I&#8217;d like to get it out of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/tag\/hunting-gathering\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hunting &amp; Gathering<\/a> stage and to Colleen sometime before I am 80.<\/p>\n<p>I was thinking subway tiles. I have been worried for awhile that the patches were too big and wouldn&#8217;t fit on the design wall. When I saw the stack of patches, I thought that I might actually get them all on the wall for once. No such luck. The white and grey stacks as well as a few light pinks and violets are still on my cutting table.<\/p>\n<p>I did an ok job getting the colors up that I could fit. Not perfect, but ok. There is a lot of moving around that has to happen before I can start sewing.<\/p>\n<p>I like the size of the patches and don&#8217;t really want to cut them down, but that means that I have to figure out a different way to arrange them. The design is simply not large enough. Right now I am toying with the idea of getting a section arranged, sewing it together, then working on the next section. I just don&#8217;t think I have it in me to cut up all those patches.<\/p>\n<p>The Friday creativity posts will return soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am still a little bit a loose ends with quilts.
