Fallish Quilting along

You may have noticed a new button on my sidebar ~ the Pickle dish Quilt-along which is being run by Aneela of Comfortstitching. I have always wanted to make a double wedding ring quilt and this one is very similar to that, so I decided to join in. Mine is going to be in very non-traditional? or at least very current colors. It's a palette of black and citrus and gray. Pickle dish quilt along ~ the palette

I have absolutely no plan for this quilt at the moment. Picnic quilt? Xmas gift? No clue.

So far I've made 27 pairs of these arches - you need 8 arches for a block and I'm going to be making at least 12 blocks (possibly more, haven't decided yet), sooooo I've got a long long way to go. Pickledish QAL Progress


Here's a jist of what the blocks will look like ~

Should I be working on a new quilt when I have umpteen higher priority projects to do? Nope! But sometimes you just have to go with the flow of your creative juices.

Happy sewing!

Here's a question for you. For your arcs: Are you a random, draw one out of a box girl or do you plan a pattern or sequence? I find it very hard to draw and actually use whatever comes up. But that's just me.
