To-do

Now that I'm almost finished with the Tennessee Waltz quilt, it's time to get a new project or two started up.
The first is a pattern using charm squares I bought from Connecting Threads using their "Impressions of Kyoto" line. I haven't gotten it put into Electric Quilt yet, but I'll be taking "in progress" pictures soon.


The second project is a bit more ambiguous, as I don't have a pattern yet. I spent an hour and a half wandering around the fabric store without any sort of inspiration, until I discovered a few "jelly rolls"* sitting around in a hidden corner of the store. The set is made up of assorted blue and green batik fabrics, so I figure I'll do something scrappy with them, probably along these lines:



I haven't seen a whole lot of good jelly roll patterns on the Internet, so I imagine I'll write up a step-by-step tutorial for this one as I work my way along the pattern.

As I mentioned in my last post, I'm newly unemployed, so I've got a lot of spare time for sewing (when I'm not busy updating my resumé and searching for leads). I haven't had a lot of time for quilting as of late since I've been busy with life in World of Warcraft, but now I'll have plenty of time to catch up on the projects I've been hoping to start for a while.
