Can't see the forest......

You can't see the forest for the trees......!!!

Well, actually I can - not directly, but I know it's there!

With my slice & dice fever still happening - GOD - does this fabric breed or what....I'm still waving my rotary cutter around like a wand. Just wish I had the magical powers to get everything done with a simple 'ta-daaaaa'.......umph!

My containers are all labelled and stacked and I've added two more larger containers to hold the pieces for these two quilts. I must remind myself not to look at anymore old quilt books. Best to donate them back to the thrift store for another victim to buy them ;-)

The 1st is from Lady's Circle Patchwork Quilts, dated March 1986. Delectable Mountains Variation and I've resized it (hopefully) for a larger block. The original HT squares were just to small for my patience. I love the pattern, the colours are iffy here - but I thinking more reddish, less orange. But, seriously.....it's all coming from stash, so the colours will be...hmmm,whatever they are! LOL
 2nd Quilt added from American Patchwork & Quilting dated June 1996. This one will be a good stash reducer quilt.
I think when Bonnie Hunter starts her next mystery quilt in November, I'll continue on with finishing up all my UFO ones. Actually have a couple of Bonnie's mysteries to finish.....not sure how that happens ( who am I kidding) I love being involved with these mysteries and the camaraderie of all the quilters combined. I just need to stick to the quilts that I've started and am drawn towards.
ROFL ~ this is me....scratching my head and figuring out the size I want to work with!! Ha ha ha!!! Grade 12 math was many eons ago for me, but I think I've got it hammered out!!!!

Now....back to cutting!!!
