CRAZY Martha
10/23/2007
I have been doing my best to save this quilt top. It is nearly done. I added the criss-crosses and some "sashing". I am losing hope that this top can be saved, but am so close to finishing it.

I have been looking at this pinned on my wall for the last month and it just couldn't find excitement over it anymore, not the way the last quilt did. I realized it was just too regular and predictable. So, I put some of my crazy (and there has been a lot of it in me these days) into it and added something unexpected, and to bring some sanity to me. It, again, may not be my best work, but at least I like it better than I did a few days ago and it has gotten me to sew again.
I think I am a little more nuts when I am not sewing. I always feel a bit more stable when I am sewing, making a progression to some sort of completion. Finding some kind of sanity amongst the chaos, some small bit I can control and conduct.
I think I am calling it "Crazy Martha" because most of it made with Martha Negley Prints, and my part of crazy is making it.

Whew! I did a lot this weekend, including sewing! I really like when I have good energy!
This is the pattern I created:
And the results so far:
(I am feeling so smart, because I am using up the fabric left over from the other quilt! So far the green flowers and the purple fruit are all gone)

As I was finishing my other quilt up I started to get an idea for this. Similar to the other but without the purple "sashing". I am bothered that viewers keep seeing a stained glass since that was not my intention.
It is roughly based on this design:
....and surprise, surprise. While I was cutting out the pieces for this one I got another idea for the next one. So, I will have to start drafting it too.
