I think that will be a good and fun use of the piece even if the colors aren\u2019t quite right for the dining room.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2016\/02\/quiltcon-day-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pies and Points<\/a> from 2016 Victoria Findlay Wolfe class. The last time I worked on it was when Julie and I had a playdate in April 2018. I brought this piece with me so I could cut more elements (Julie has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B01LYNIYLR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=artquiltmaker-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B01LYNIYLR&amp;linkId=ad1786613b29ff11d8155182720d697b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sizzix<\/a>). I lost my excitement about this piece shortly thereafter and still have to get it back. Thus, I had to move this to the WIPs area.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2014\/05\/pointillist-palette-4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pointillist Palette #4<\/a>: Fourth is a series of 6 quilts; needs tiny square patches sewn together.

I am still stalled on this again. As one of my oldest (I am pretty sure) UFO, I put it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2018\/04\/whats-your-oldest-ufo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">my blog<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/artquiltmaker\/status\/987744235699879942\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">out into the Twitterverse<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ddrquilter\/status\/987747460075458560\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Diane suggested that I not consider this as a self portrait<\/a>. I think that strategy is a great idea.

Perhaps having a larger design wall will help me regain momentum. The amount of satin stitching I was facing was a problem until I thought of BIAS TAPE. I am going to make the words with bias tape, perhaps different widths, then I won\u2019t have to sew the satin stitching. Red Scribbles and Friend Julie helped me come up with this solution.
