Not Alone...

So glad I am not alone in changing the original plan. I loved Jan's comment that her last quilt started out as a table runner and became a quilt.  I have had a few ideas that started as a quilt and became a placemat, or even a pot holder.  Actually, I usually don't plan too much....I tend to pull a bunch of fabrics and then edit from there.  


Because I don't have a dedicated sewing room, my organization is lacking.  My fabrics are in containers in a closet...so I don't have easy access to all of my fabrics.  But I do usually change my mind before I add an entire border...Oh well!!!

I am liking the new choice....much more neutral and less distracting.

  
I have added two more borders...


two more {I think} to go...


happy tuesday!

  5. Gosh your quilt looks like so much fun! The kitty fabric is so cute, and I love that last black border--is that a newer fabric (such that I could find some)? If you remember the name of it, I'd appreciate it. I'm blaming you if I find I have to buy this book and start on another project! :)

  13. I read the previous post too. I think my projects almost never end the way I imagined. Sometimes I now there is something missing, but I just don't want to listen to myself...until later end then I end up unpicking even more then if I had stopped earlier. I like the colours in your project.

  18. Some pieces tell you what they're going to be and not the other way around.

    Looks lovely so far!

  19. It must be something about this quilt, I have lost count of the times I changed my fabric decisions on the various borders, even to the extent of unpicking and replacing fabrics. In the end I was happy with the result tho!

  20. Love the notion of a quilt becoming a pot holder when things take a different turn. I tend to be a planner and need to loosen up a bit. Your "unplanned" is coming along quite nicely.
