During some downtime while reorganizing the spare bedroom\/sewing room, I decided to take an inventory of the projects that I&#8217;m <i>currently<\/i> working on.  I&#8217;m just about finished with Angie and Vaughn&#8217;s Texas Star quilt, I&#8217;ve got my parents birthday\/wedding anniversary Apple Core quilt about halfway pieced, there&#8217;s the new blue, green, and yellow quilt I decided I had to start, then there&#8217;s the machine pieced Trip Around the World Quilt I&#8217;ve been working on for 4 years now, and the bold color Texas Star quilt that I thought would be fun to piece when I started the wedding quilt for A&#038;V.  Let&#8217;s see&#8230; five quilts?  That&#8217;s not too bad, especially considering that I&#8217;m almost done with the first one.<br \/>\nI actually dreamed last night that it was a week before A&#038;V&#8217;s wedding, and I was only in the place that I am right now, and I freaked out.  I&#8217;d really like to have the binding done by the end of the week, so I can finish the rest of the quilting.  I really am paranoid it&#8217;s not going to be finished though.  Even with the rest of my projects, it&#8217;s still my first concern.<br \/>\nMoving along, I&#8217;ve been checking out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quilterscache.com\">The Quilters Cache<\/a> a lot lately.  They have an huge amount of free quilt block patterns that you can print off and use.  I spent about an hour going through the blocks fast, and printing off some of my favorites, so that I can start even more quilts that I don&#8217;t need to be doing.  Beware though, it&#8217;s <i>so<\/i> cutsie and country, that it makes me a little sick.  Despite its appearance, it is a pretty good place to hunt for things to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m back to my quilting, and as always, I can&#8217;t stay focused on just one project.
