True to my resolution I managed to get this Morewood Mystery quilt basted within a week of a flimsy. Almost. Well, 8 days.
It took me that long to get the backing put together, the after quilt. Can't wait to show it. I used all of the leftover fabric except about a 1/2 yard of the teal.
I was planning to quilt it like the black and white one, with feathers in the background stripes, but a friend suggested palm/fern leaves. The flowered fabric is a lily fabric with fern/palm fronds in tropical colors.
Now if I could just get a couple of my PHDs basted.
Not much progress here.
I have the My Favorite Color is Moda pattern and fabric but I haven't started cutting it yet. I also have Quilting is my Therapy Build A Quilt 2020-2021. I haven't even opened the envelopes partially because I haven't finished Build A Quilt 2019-2020.
I have decided I AM NOT signing up for any more quilt-alongs until I get some of my UFO/PHDs completed. Someone please hold me to this!!!
I really want to get back to rolling the dice on Thursdays to see what I will be working on during the weekend. I do the quilting during the week and piecing on the weekends.
I will have to take advantage of my evening stitching while I can. The new job will cut into that, at least for a while.
Wishing you more sewing time than I will have.

I think getting Moorewood finished and pin basted is a great accomplishment. That's where I usually stall out. I know you're not planning on joining any new QALs but what about the Moorewood Mystery? I think I would like to jump into the 2021 quilt but would love having a friend for motivation. *wink* I think it kicks off in July. Maybe we should see how our PHDs are coming along by then.Ha!
