Another new project?!?!

It's probably not a good thing to post two days in a row about starting new projects, when September is half over, and I haven't even touched this month's UFO!!!
However, Temecula has started a new alphabet sew along and I totally have to make this one because it will make a great baby quilt.  

Click here for the first block instructions. 

My plan is to use up bright scraps (hand dyed fabric from Vicki Welsh) for the letters on a black-dots-on-white background. FUN!
The instructions are great and each block is fun to sew.

Now... where is that UFO pile?!?!

I am not doing the Temecula alphabet blocks but can totally understand the starting new projects and letting the UFO's slide!

I was just wondering about your September UFO today, just because you hadn't mentioned it yet!!

Those colors will be great in that cute quilt.

Two new project starts...oh naughty girl...but fun!!! Good luck with the UFO for this month!!

Ah, but it takes but a minute to sew those little alpha blocks - so it's OK and you still can get to the UFO.

Nice brights for a fun quilt....

Oh Kathy! That will make such a cute baby quilt - and the brights will be perfect to catch baby's interest!!!! I love starting on new projects - I would hate to think of the creativity wasted if I refused to follow an inspiration just because I was already working on something else!

You're tempting me again. I have a Wordplay quilt on my NewFO list for this month. Gotta finish 3 more projects then maybe I can start another...

It is a tempting one, Kathy. I understand you succumbing--especially with those happy colors waiting for a home. : )

Cathy said...

Looks like you have a case of "start-itis". I hope it isn't contagious, because if it is, you just might have passed it along on the weekend. I wonder what the incubation period is......... LOL. Those fabrics that I bought Saturday evening are calling to me to start something......

The little blocks are so quick that they can be done in minutes! Enjoy the new BOM.

I was so tempted, but just bought the little Moda alphabet pattern from Primitive Gatherings at the AQS show in Grand Rapids. Your letters are going to make a happy alphbet! Love the Marcus Brothers Designers Mystery blocks, too.

Chantal said...

Oh I have faith in you! I know you can handle two new projects in two days without loosing any sleep over it. ;^)
It looks very good too.

Lesley said...

Sweet little letters. A great start!

margaret said...

this would make a great quilt for youngsters learning the alphabet and colourful too

Jean said...

oh no, now you are going to make me want to start playing with letters again! These are a great start....don't forget to make some asterisks, I know how much you like them.

Bonnie said...

Too cute!

What a great idea to use Vicki's rainbow pack for the letters. I am very tempted to do that too!
