Why, no, I'm not starting a new project. Why do you ask?

This project I'm not starting (Hi, Sally!) has its beginning in my being gifted with this book a couple of years ago.  (Dear daughter caught me drooling all over its pages at a quilt shop we were visiting)

Didn't start the quilt, though!  Strong am I, and focused.

And then a year or two later I 'accidentally' bought the templates for cutting the pieces.  (oops!) 

Still didn't start the quilt!  Too many projects going already!  Must resist!

And then I found this fabric.

And fell head over heels.  A fussy-cutter's dream, I tell ya!  And in all my colors!  How perfect is that?

I grabbed those templates and my mirror-thingy (another 'accidental' acquisition - not that I was starting a new project) and started playing.

There's just no bad place to set those templates down.

 Next thing I knew, I was pulling fabric and had my rotary cutter in hand

and was starting to accumulate all kinds of bits and bobs.

Maybe something warmer for those skinny diamonds?

And what about for this one?  Blue?

Or green?

And now I've noticed that little piles of zippybags are appearing.

And I finally figured out what that little dumpling bag I'd made was for.

But I haven't sewn a stitch yet, so it totally doesn't count as starting a quilt, right?

Right?

Though for an unstarted project, there sure are a bunch of holes in that fabric...


Linking with Quilting is more fun than Housework for Oh Scrap!  Lots of scrappy goodness going on!
