Design Wall Monday

Wow, over 1 1/2 month with no blog posts.

But I do have several excuses:
First I went on a winter trip to
beautiful time in Yellowstone National Park - 
and didn't want to come back home.
Then I had 2 week business trip to El Paso/ Juarez - 
and couldn't wait to get home...
But I managed to visit the Carlsbad Caverns 
during my time down South,
and they are amazing!

On the quilting front
I have to get my act together
and need to make a decision concerning
the status of my "Easy Street" quilt top:

do I keep it as a 3 x 3 block lay out
and have lots of bits and pieces leftover?

Or do I continue for a 3 x 4 lay out:

Decisions, decisions - 
I don't like to leave all these leftover pieces,
but I know I don't have enough material cut
to add the missing 4 blocks...
and might not have the perseverance
to get the bigger one done.
And I certainly don't need another UFO...
We'll see.

Design Wall Monday at Judy's
Patchwork Place.

Enjoy your week,

  1. Oh my goodness...a post from Barb!!! Glad to see you back in the sewing circle. I vote for making the quilt larger. You're almost there so go for it. It will cover you up better :-)

  2. Welcome back. :)
    I say 3x3 and get it done. I agree with Colleen.

  3. I visited Carlsbad Caverns in 1978 when I was in 4th grade. I remember how amazing they were! I say keep Easy Street at 3 X 3 and put your extra pieces on the back. I'm still working on my Easy Street, and I know it's a huge undertaking. You can always make the borders bigger if you don't think the 3 X 3 size will be large enough. LOL

  4. I made mine 3x3 for the same reason you are considering but must figure out now what to do with my extra pieces- can't just toss them - maybe we should have a "leftovers" challenge!
