I'm participating in a challenge by Tonya, Lazy Gal, to make a liberated Amish style quilt with liberated lettering on the front somewhere. The details are at http://lazygallibamish2010.blogspot.com/
Above you see my beginning of an Amish Triangles top based on the sample #93 in the book we are using. I have about as many again which have been added since this photo. And maybe that photo is upside down.
I am now thinking about borders, and more difficult, what words to add, and how to make the letters. This is slowing me down. I am procrastinating. I want to just add the borders and start quilting. No, I have to make some letters.
One thing I did was to sew together a lot of four-patches. That doesn't take much thought.
Another thing I did was to take an old machine quilting practice sample and cut it up and make two hot pads. The bias binding was just lying around in the same place. So that also put off the making letters for another half hour.
Now I'm reading and watching TV, and looking at the computer.. . . .and not yet making any letters.
