Changes to the WIP List!

It's May.  I used to think Christmas season was busy, but in some ways it's got nothing on May.  There's a great parody video out there that sums up my feelings perfectly...


But one of the events on the calendar was our guild's spring retreat!  (And to go I had to NOT help at a TTT Bake Sale, a 4-H Sewing Workshop, the State Large Group Vocal Contest concessions for the Fine Arts Boosters and turn down an invitation to a party.)

So progress was actually made on the WIP List!!!  It's becoming obvious I really need to buckle down and spend some time on the long-arm.  It's hard to find large enough blocks of time, but since I have a long-arm I really have no excuse for having a pile of half a dozen unquilted tops.  Although I swear half my problem is decision paralysis about what thread to use and how to quilt it. 

Crystal Gems is definitely going to be just an all-over pattern, and I could probably use six different colors of thread and no one would notice, so maybe that should be first.  Although I still have to decide if I want to put wide borders on it to make it a king, or leave it as is.  A part of me just wants to make enough more blocks, but I would have to buy another fat quarter bundle.  So it's border or nothing. 

Row of cats is probably also an all-over pattern, and is smaller, so another quick finish.  Maybe this weekend?
