Too Many Pie's

I think I have my fingers planted in too many pies 

this is what has been going on over the last week

On my design floor (its too big for the wall)

a UFO from last year.

Burgoyne Surrounded
finished size 85"x107"

I have 6 more blocks to make, plus the sashing between
each block, row then I can start on the border.


On the quilting frame was this garish, give me nightmares
quilt, its one that my mummy made and was in her
quilting things, and because Em needs to have a
queen size of king size bed to be able to use the quilt I made on 
mums behalf, its now Emma's quilt. Its in the binding line


I started off stippling it


then moved onto loops


For Sophie, a very funky little wall hanging
(its in the binding line too)


I had a fat 1/8th bundle of 
Vintage Modern staring at me for yonks

now I have Dresden canoes


and Dresden blades


and 1 finished Dresden plate


the plan is to make a Dresden quilt for me, with the plates appliquéd
onto white background squares and then to have smaller dresden
plates appliqued where the blocks join, but as we all know
plans can change.

So I possibly have my fingers in to many pies but as I keep telling my
dh, I am stash busting, I ONLY need to buy background fabric 
for the Dresdans, the Burgoyne Surrounded, needs nothing as I
had already started it....

I am SAVING him money :)
