Converting
Time to take a break from dressmaking and get some quilting done. This pile has been sitting patiently in a box for well over 16 months.
I need to convert them into around 44 of these.
I remember now why they were put away. Repetitious work I find very (dare I say) boring. Here's hoping I can make a good dent in them today.
Happy Stitching.

I certainly understand the sameness getting boring. At least your fabrics are pretty and pinwheels are happy things. Happy Sewing.
I like repitition work, if I combine it with another project. I have to make 25 blocks for the next Schnibbles project. I make 6, go on with something else and then make some more. Works perfectly for me (O:
I just did with 30 blocks - got bored. Pretty pinwheels, Linda.
Hmmm.. lots of people are making pinwheels now... ;o) ...maybe its a Spring block..:o) Good luck with yours... and I have right now problem with ... making lots of lots of blocks for my expanded Schnibble quilt.. why on earth did I do this??? :o) huh!
I like variety, so I'm always working on multiple projects. I like pinwheels--easy peasy work, but never 44 at one shot. lol
I put on music and just plow through that repetitive work... Sing loud and clear... whose gonna hear ya! lol
Good luck... I am off to drop off a quilt to my LAQ and stay out of the house for a bit while we have a Realtors Caravan...
I am hoping to bride them to sell my house by leaving home baked chocolate chip cookies and bottles of ice cold water...
Just think of the end result!! It is going to be gorgeous!! I mean really- those colours and pinwheels- a match made in heaven!

16 months - I think I may have you beat on a few of my things (but don't tell anyone because I'm embarassed about it)
Only 16 months.....I think I have you beat!!! Somehow other things got in the way...3 grandchildren in the last three years had a little to do with an unfinished quilt I had started when I had to switch to baby things. Oh well....at least when I get back to it I won't have to go buy fabric!!! Just have to remember what I was doing!!!!! Have a great day.

So how did you go Linda??
Ha! I just keep moving that pile from one side to the other and it still keeps getting in my way. Maybe I should finish something but it is so much fun starting up the new projects. What clothes have you been stitching? Do show:-)
Those are going to be some gorgeous pinwheels!
I wish you luck with that task Linda - I get bored easily too!
