Since I'm not making much progress on other things...how about some recent pictures of old projects? This is the Persian Rug Quilt. It's all detailed piecing with no applique...just to prove that I can piece after all. If you click on the top picture you can look at it up close and see that there are 3 unrelated fabrics fussy cut to make the design.
I had purchased yards of lush dark blues, when I finally got a reply back from the recipient about the fabric swatches I'd emailed and she replied that the colors were lovely, but a bit dark. I bought a new batch of tans to lighten things up and the lovely blues ended up on back.
I also machine quilted this one. Unfortunately, one bobbin worth of thread had tension problems and I didn't notice it until I was home. I can see it in the photo...can you? Being as how I'm not inherantly a perfectionist, it was clear that I wouldn't be ripping that out since it's only noticable on the back. It keeps it from ever being in a jurried show...but the purpose was to please the recipient, not some judges.

That quilt really ties the page together. My inner achiever insists that I make one like this.
