So, it’s pretty obvious that I’m going to have something in the wearables division.  I think it will probably be Scarlet, since I don’t want to rush Peacock.  Hopefully, she’ll come into the show having done well at New Braunfels and Bernina University.  I still haven’t decided whether to enter her into PLAQG.  I guess I’ll decide that today.

Otherwise, I want to enter the max (3 quilts) and only had one entry decided/planned until last week.  That was Gratitutious Use of Bling.  The ladies over at MQR gave me a great list of types of quilt bling and I’m getting very excited about it.  It’s a miniature (meaning less than 24×24) so it’s got to be a very precise and careful use of the bling, so as not to overwhelm.  Sketches are still being made and will be shared when complete.

I was going through a number of ideas for a large pieced quilt and a wall size quilt.  I really want to show off my quilting in these entires, so it’s imperitive that they be condusive to that.  I started going through my wish list of patterns and found one big pieced quilt that had actually already been started.  It’s a pattern I tested for a designer last year and made some of the blocks with the testing.  I wanted to finish the top as a gift for my friend Anjea but was waiting on permission from the designer.  Now, after starting the work, I find that it may not be a gift after all.  I’m getting really attached to it.  I hope Anjea doesn’t mind.  I like the pattern and will probabaly still make it for her, but I don’t know if it will be this exact one.

I drew it up in Illustrator.  Wanna see the plan?

As for the wall quilt, I’m still mulling over ideas.  It may be a wholecloth.  It may be an art quilt.  I just don’t know.  I’m starting to get frustrated with myself.  But I really want to have a third quilt in the show.
