New Work

I had planned to spend the week quilting.  Really, the pile of "to be quilted" tops has gotten totally out of hand.  But I walked into the studio Monday Morning, feeling fresh and strong and, unfortunately, feeling a strong urge to piece.  Just a little.  After all, if I pieced on Monday I'd have the rest of the week to quilt.  

So I started this piece:

Fifth Quilt in the Figure Exercise, 48" x 30"

And of course, I didn't finish it Monday.  I finished it late Tuesday afternoon.  On the plus side, I am now officially tired of this figure.  It won't tempt me any longer.

So I walked into the studio Wednesday morning, fully intending to spend the rest of the week quilting.  I actually made a couple of backs for the larger quilts in the pile.  And then, I started to think about what I would piece next, when I had made a dent in the tops pile, of course.  I certainly didn't intend to start another quilt.

Except that I did.

Fourplex, 37" x 37"

Oh well, two more tops in the "to be quilted" pile.  Maybe I'll do better next week...

I'm linking this post to Nina-Marie's Off the Wall Friday and Crazy Mom Quilts Finish it up Friday.  Go see all the wonderful work there!
