POUTs and MEQs, part 2

Once the nearly-emptied top POUT (Projects On Unlimited Time-out) drawer was returned, the second/middle drawer caught my eye and I had to take a peek there too.

The bottom drawer holds trash bag fabrics and plastic sheeting.

First things out of the gate were piles and piles of fruit and vegetable fabrics ...

... and an apparent plan for all these.

I definitely put a lot of planning into this MEQ (Mind's Eye Quilt) and was enthused enough to plan for several sizes. I vaguely remember thinking of calling it "Kitchen Sink".

POUTs and MEQs

With an empty mid-arm and a very full flimsy storage system, I found myself staring at this the other day and wondering which one to move forward.

One of the post-its had '82" x something' on it (QI Zoe's got me pinned to the recliner, so I can't leap up and refresh my memory of the second measurement), so I figured that would be a good candidate if I could find a few yards of 42"-43" wide fabric in my backing drawer.

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!"
