No volunteering

It's like the volunteering is just not meant to be; Nolwenn called me that she is sick, telling me it was okay if I wanted to come on over anyway. We still needed to discuss our approach for the rest of the inventorisation, so I told her I'd rather wait until we decided what the next steps were.

This frees up my Monday morning, allowing me to pre-wash the fabrics for NoKey's new two shirts (I've been dying to make him something pretty, and we picked up fabric for two shirts last Saturday) and doing some pattern-wrestling for Badger's Business.
If I'm done with that, there shall be writing and homework. I already finished the homework for my quilt class, because I can do that in front of the 'TV'.

Still pondering other quilts. Maybe I'll get around to making a sketch today. Or at least an approach to the strip piecing.

No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy.

If I may, I will demolish a popular saying and create my own version:
No plan ever survives contact with the Muse.

This is actually a good thing. I had bought the following fabrics in June of 2011, planning to make a quilt out of them. The red has a flannel feel to it and the black would balance the solids out against the print.



When I was browsing through my quilt fabrics stash (now still small enough to fit into one bin, I cherish these days!) I found another purple solid and a printed text fabric. When this morning I was stuck on my Badger's Business costume project, Muse could not wait any longer and insisted on starting that third quilting project NOW.
And gee, didn't I still have...



So this is the plan. The pattern I'll be using is "Squares within squares 2" from the Quilter's cache. The printed text will be the backing, and because I've only got a meter of that, it means this will become a crib-sized quilt. (I looked that up today...)

*tiny voice* I'm going to need a quilter's icon...
