I've got a problem .........

....... yeah, yeah, quiet at the back there those of you muttering "we KNOW you have".  No, my problem is regarding the Christmas Quiltalong. I can't decide what to make. I've got loads of different ideas in my mind, and they're all jumping up and down shouting "pick me, pick me!" and I can't make up my mind.  Most of them aren't "Christmas" quilts, as such, but whatever I make will be a present for my sister.  Has anyone else got this problem, or are you all so well organised that you know just what you're going to do, and have got all the fabrics sorted out and so on?

  1. LOL!! I love your blog, it's so much fun. I'll tell you what I do when I can't decide. Wait til the last minute then pick the color I like best for that day. Then it's simple blocks if I'm tired, complex blocks if I'm not tired.

  3. Snort :} You're not getting any sympathy frmo me, Missy, oh no .... at least you'll be sewing & playing with fabric. Me - no idea but it is likely to involve tools outside and a lot of sore muscles!

  4. I have a dilemma too. Do I have a go at my own design or stick to the lovely patterns I've been saving for a rainy day? I suppose I'll just see how I feel on Saturday!

  5. Pull out all your Christmas stash for inspiration...Pull out your Christmas magazines, books and patterns...and once you have made a big mess then you will have your answer!! Of course you will probably have to go to a Quilt Shop to add just the right fabric...yada yada...you get the idea!! Have fun!

  6. I'm thinking I need to complete the projects I started LAST YEAR for Xmas gifts that I never finished. Would I be ahead or still behind by joining the quilt along???

  7. You're getting started so early that you can pick one, then pick another, and another.....!

  11. You already know that I hear you loud and clear as I have the same trouble. So far the only idea that I have that is screaming "YOU MUST MAKE ME!" is an antique lace table runner. Now who do you think wants to run pell mell from that idea?? Me of course!
