FNWF and doing what I do best....

Procrastinating!     Well... it is what I do best.

I started out with a plan.   I'd cut out the templates and had everything out ready to get to work....

should have know things were going too smoothly.    When it came to the cutting..... I just went right off  the idea of using the fabric bundle I'd pulled out.   It's nice fabric but I just don't think it suits this quilt pattern.I fancied some really vibrant and zingy fabric so I searched  my fabric stash for some.   Can you tell me why I wasted an hour rummaging through boxes looking for something I knew I didn't have?   

That was the original plan down the drain then.

But.... while I was searching for the 'perfect' fabric for the first project these caught my eye.....

Two cute plastic cubes of 3" squares... one in greens the other neutrals.  What could I make with them?  They were cut out and ready to go and I was starting to panic that the clock was ticking on my FNWF and I hadn't done anything.

What could I make with 520 3" squares.....  nothing that I could think of on the spur of the moment that's for sure!  

I put them back in their little hidey hole then turned to the bookshelves for inspiration. Thank goodness I found some.....

courtesy of Camille Roskelley    I love this pattern in her book 'Simplify' and I just happened to know where I'd hidden stored a Pom Pom de Paris jelly roll that I got free when I took out a magazine subscription.   That makes this a FREE quilt... how cool is that.

Wasted no time (!) getting down to work.....

Got this far (those are little bundles of cut pieces) when I realised it was 8pm and I hadn't had dinner!   Of course as soon as I thought of food I was ravenous so I'm afraid the project was abandoned and I hit the kitchen.  You wouldn't want me to starve would you.  Salmon... yummy!

With a full tummy and a nice glass of wine I settled down to spend what was left of the evening stitching something I can't show you without having to kill you afterwards.   Wish I could figure out how to get those blurry photo's of secret stuff but it's beyond me.

So.... that's it.   My Friday Night With Friends...... thanks for your company everyone.   Thanks to you too Cheryll for making it all possible.   I'll be round to see what you've been up to very soon.

I've got loads of bloggy catching up to do.  Had the most frustrating week ever!  Apologies for being late responding to comments and e.mails.   I'm wearing my horsehair nightie to bed tonight as punishment...... I promise to do better.... honest.

Speaking of bed...... gotta go count some sheep!

See ya soon.... in the meantime.. have fun

Hugs
