My New Temporary Design Wall




This is my new (temporary) design wall.

As my regular readers know, I have moved (temporarily) to my old dining room
 sewing space as my sewing room is occupied by one of my sons.
  I do not mind sewing in our living area, but apparently 
I became very spoiled by having had my own space where I was able to "spread out."   

So ... I seem to be extending my sewing space further by branching into the adjoining living room.  


I am now calling this quilt in the making
"Anything Goes With Gray"
in my head.

One of the things I liked most about my sewing room was that I was finally able to set up a temporary design wall and this was so useful that I had been making sewing room improvement plans to make a permanent design wall.


I now cannot sew without some kind of design wall.

So with the help of my hubby I made a new temporary one by putting a large piece of batting over our big entertainment wall bookcase in the living room.

Yes, there is a television behind these
I had to play catch-up on these blocks, which I am swapping with my quilty bestie,

These are my February, March and April blocks.
I shall actually be ahead for once!

I really need my design wall for these blocks ~~~>




Here are some of the other blocks.
I really have  a difficult time stopping myself when my
 "30 minutes a day of sewing for me time" is up
when I have these fabrics in my hands.
I have so many projects to catch up on that I have to keep to my self-imposed limit
so I can get everything accomplished.

I will get this spring quilt done.

And Spring Will Come ... soon, I am hoping. 

This has become my focused 

and is a big item on my


I have a new addition to my bucket list ~~~~>



A 60 Degree Triangle Quilt has been on my quilty bucket list for a long, long time
and this fun quiltalong was just the incentive to get it off my "To-Do" list
and onto my "WIP List."   A small step in the right direction.

Sew I have many happy projects to choose from
when I sit down in my happy sewing place.

... just keep sewing ...

Improv in the Scrapatch

 
An Idea:
 
Use these charms and background fabric and end up with a large block, about 28" by 18"
 
Cut and sew as I go.
