Past Project

Mary's obsessed with bookshelf quilts, and while I've never made one, they remind me of a "bug (or canning) jar" wallhanging I made for my mother's Christmas gift in 2008. I just happen to have some pictures on my laptop I can share.

Original pattern from which I got some ideas.

MInd's Eye Quilts

It would appear that 20-some-odd years ago I felt the need to immortalize(?) the ideas for future quilts or wall-hangings rocketing around in my head. I found a MEQ folder in my permanent storage device, with these projects in it:

"Bottle" MEQ

"Challenge" (quilt guild) MEQ

"Coach" MEQ

"I Spy" (duh!) MEQ

"Jewel" MEQ

"Roses" (ya think?) MEQ

Today, two of these are no longer even in the running, two are still baggied up as they were 20 years ago, one is due to revisit my Design Wall, and one actually became a completed wall-hanging! To have 1/3 of one's ideas come to (or close to) fruition in a span of 20 years--is that a good percentage? I suppose one can always say, as one does in the blogosphere, "I can get a blog post out of it!"
