I've been playing today. With Dad's shirts. We all called him Gee. (Short for Gee-Daddy which is short for granddaddy). And coincidentally enough, today I decided to try my hand at Gee's Bend inspired piecing. Oh, this is fun! And it goes so fast!
I have all but finished the first quilt top from the shirts - just working on sewing the blocks together. Can't show it here - it's now a secret project.... :)
With all the excitement of yesterday (and the fact that I had workmen here from 10am until 8:30 pm), I never did make a zigzag block. Today I decided a mish mash block would be in order. I keep this bin on my sewing table and toss all the leftover half square triangle pieces in each day. So I grabbed at random.
And here is today's block.
No football game this weekend. I plan to spend tomorrow SEWING!!!! Another zigzag. Another Gee's Bend block. A bit of Sue Spargo. Sewing blocks together for first shirt quilt. And maybe even another project...
How many projects do you work on at one time? Are you a "one at a time" quilter, or are you more like me, a "the more the merrier" quilter?

I must be the "more the merrier" kinda gal too. After spending a month working on UFO's I am still not caught up and have started even more. Is this a sickness? LOVE the black and white blocks
I'm more the merrier too! I have three quilts going at once right now. Working on a 10 minute block quilt and 2 t-shirts quilts for my nieces.My FIL passed and they wanted something from him. The 10 minute block quilt has been a savior. Needing to break away sometimes...and it's easy.
Love the black and whites. I think I'm going to try that one.
