A new quilt for a new year.....

My plans for this year are to use up some of the fabrics in my stash and also to finish a few more UFO's.  My first stash quilt is just about done.  I cut a lot of my blue and white fabrics into 6" squares.  Then I put light and dark ones together and made half square triangles.  

 This is the result.  I still need to put sashing around the outer edge and some sort of border.

 I have no idea why I decided at some point to make these little 3-D triangles, but they were a pain to do.  Probably every time someone sits on the bed, they will catch something on the 3-D squares...what was I thinking??   I should have showed a section where my corners met a little more perfectly....oh, well.  I really struggled with the bulky seams!  

Below is another blue project.  I have a lot of blue fabrics to use up!  

This year's challenge in our guild is to make a quilt based on a song title.  I didn't intend to do it because I have no inspiration telling me what song to do.  But I just happened to pull this unfinished piece out to work on, and realized that it has a song title in it!  Maybe you see it, maybe you don't.  Take a guess.  Look at the close up while thinking about it.

 I plan to put a scalloped border on it.  Have never done one before.....seeking advice from friends who have.  I had a hard time finding a fabric to use for the border , but think I will like this piece that it is laying on in the photo.

Have you thought of a song title yet?  

I am going to embroider a small red rose in the lady's hand.  Maybe that will help you?  

Think 60's easy listening.....maybe Bobby Vinton or Dean Martin?
