Feeling Groovy

The groove is back!  I have actually managed to channel my restlessness into some creative energy.  This is a completed quilt top that I've made for a friend's baby:



It is very simply made with 5" squares framed with 2.5" strips.  I'm not entirely sure I was concentrating when I did the colour placement, but with only three main colours there wasn't much to play with!  I think it works and I'm sure the binding and quilting will make a difference.

I'm also working on a project for another friend - this time a birthday gift:


A nice pile of 9 patch squares - 18 in total!  There's a way to go with this one and I'm yet to decide on the final design of the quilt top :-/  I know it will be based on an Irish Quit design but there ends my decision making thus far.  Two weeks to decide and finish - it will be fine, it will be fine...!

Restless

I'm experiencing a bit of a challenging time in my life currently.  Consequently I seem to be extremely restless - I'm finding it very hard to maintain interest in any of my usual enjoyable, crafty pursuits.  My work room is covered in fabric - I've started three projects in as many days - but I have no inclination to finish anything.  I hope this unnatural phase will pass soon!

I snapped a few pics of my snowball quilt last week - just to show the detail.
