My process is fairly messy....
I end up with piles of fabric all over the place.
The further I am, into the project, get the worse it gets...fabric all over the floor, as I figure out my fabric choices along the way.
I may have a messy process, but after a week and a half, the last border is on!!!! I just have to quilt that last border and I'll be ready to put on the binding. Now cross your fingers that I can get that done, before some other idea calls my name. If I get this done, it will be my first finish of 2011. It feels good to actually start and finish something quickly......whoops I guess I better actually finish, before I pat myself on the back.
About the tutorial.....my new computer is in the city....sent to my wonderful, computer guy, instead of to me and he has, believe it or not, gone fishing. Sort of sounds like the dog ate my homework type of excuse...but it's the truth...honest. Seriously, it is on the top of my to do list.

Instant Gratification
There is definitely some instant gratification going on around here, as this quilt keeps growing.......
and growing some more.
I might just finish this quilt before starting something else. I might actually practice project monogamy as suggested by Chawne. We'll see what happens....if I do it'll probably be a one time thing.
I can't link up like I usually do....still no computer.....but check out her blog, great post today. My computer is here and it's all linked now.
Also....I messed up with all my linking but this post is now linked to
For July 1st at Lily's Quilts
and growing some more.

If you like to PLAN AS YOU GO......
If you like to PLAN AS YOU GO..this might be the method for you. Two more borders added and quilted today. It's hard to believe I just started this quilt Tuesday Evening.
Just a little closer view.
Back of the quilt so far.

Growing the QAYG Log Cabin
It's been a long time since I've made this type of QAYG quilt.....I'd forgotten how quickly it grows, as you just keep adding the QAYG borders. It's still on my to do list, to write up a tutorial on this QAYG method.....but so are all kinds of other things, that aren't getting done around here.
It's great quilting this way because you never have the bulk, of your quilt, under your machine. I'll keep you posted as it grows.....this is so addictive.

Decluttering My Brain
I might be making a mess in my sewing room with new projects started everywhere, but I think I'm decluttering my brain. Some of these ideas have been rattling around my head for months...it feels liberating to get them made into quilting swatches...for lack of a better name. The actual quilts will follow later...if the ideas are quilt worthy. Besides it's nice to have ideas, ready to go, during the times, my head is just plain empty...there are plenty of those days too.
I'm working on a QAYG Log Cabin type quilt.
I start with a center and just keep adding QAYG type borders.
Here I am, just trying out a few more, of those lucious shot cottons....I'm using them on the back as well, and hope the quilt doesn't end up being to light weight.

Arnoldi Inspired 2011
Here is a little better shot of my inspiration in the midst of my mess. I found an app to crop and fix photos on the ipad....all this playing around.....sooo addictive.
