Have you started your Celtic Solstice? I have started the cutting process. 240 units with neutral background and 140 with orange background. My goal: to cut all the pieces before beginning to sew. Secondly, to chain piece all the units.
I am labeling the amount in each stack so I can keep track of how much I have cut. The neutrals are all cut and I am working on the oranges. Then onto the blue fabrics. So far I am really thrilled with the colors. The neutrals have really taken down my stash in those colors, which means there is room to shop for more. I also have been cutting up the leftovers for Bonnie's method of storing my stash. I am ending up with an assortment of 1.5" strips.
Can I get all my units made in time for the post tomorrow? That's the mystery question right now. It depends on how many interruptions I have. I am trying to load a quilt for Washington Tornado victims also. I have the pattern picked out called flutterbys along with a pastel variegated thread.
I am using a computerized longarm so it can quilt while I cut for Celtic Solstice.
Peddler's Way Quilt Shop in Washington, IL is having their Anniversary Sale over the next three days with 25% off almost everything. I would like to deliver this quilt I am quilting and buy the backing for Celtic Solstice. Can it be done? Stay tuned.
I hope everyone enjoyed the Thanksgiving weekend. Safe travels to those who are on the move.
Blessings to all.
Yours in quilting,
Terry
Good luck getting that many units done by tomorrow! I'm going to feel good if I get 20 done each day. You're smart to label your count. I have lost so much time recounting, but I think I have everything cut for the smaller quilt. Between yesterday and today I have managed to make 30 of each, Keeping the momentum going is the hardest thing for me. I'll encourage you if you'll do the same for me!!
