Now I'm feeling guilty.......................
I looked in the box that the Zygocactus blocks came out of and here are all of the lavender and peach strips already cut to make more blocks. I also have all of the setting triangles in there for a quilt larger than what I had on the design wall yesterday. I would probably have to cut more green. Darn! Here I thought I could just sew it together and move on. I guess I'll have to assign it to a day on my list.
Can you stand one more unfinished project? I know I started this one when Trudie Hughes' first Template Free books came out. She was the pioneer of writing books for rotary cutting while cutters were still a new item at the stores. Her second book came out in 1987 so I think the first one was probably in 1985. I think I sold all of her books except the second one which was autographed to me when I took a workshop with her at the Wisconsin Symposium in 1987.
This was a teaching sample that I started when I was teaching it for a guild in Joliet, IL. I gathered it all together with the rest of the fabric and measured it to prepare it to sell but I could never come up with a price so here it still sits. There is over 6 yards of coordinating fabric, 2 extra blocks, eight 9 patches and some little pieces cut to make more blocks. The pieced top is about 30" x 40".
While I was back in that same corner of the basement I found my little pile of Caryl Fallert hand dyed fabrics. I think just looking at these is all that is necessary. I need to find a little basket to display them in.
There was another pile, maker unknown, that I bought when a lady came to sell some to the quilt shop where I was working. The owner said I could buy directly from the maker if I wanted any. It is a little heavier weight so I think it would be good for machine embroidery or backgrounds for collages. She said it was Kona cotton but it is heavier than any Kona that I have. 
Now I have to convince myself that this is Tuesday. Monday holidays really mess with my mind.
