I did prepare in early December, cutting, sorting into my plastic bags, making templates etc. but then it all came to a sudden halt - but now back on track . . . have a couple of days off now so it is back into it.
I have been sorting out the sewing room and have put all of my "many" projects away in labelled colourful boxes and have included the date ... this way it makes me take a hard look at all of these projects before I dash off and want to start a new one - you know what I mean!!!
I have decided to try needle turn on this project, so far I have marked and pressed each piece ready for sewing onto main fabric. I don't know if I will do all of the quilt this way, I may alternate with blanket stitch - not sure at this point, will see how I go with this one first!
Keep up the great work everyone, your posts have inspired me to get cracking. Until next time, SuziQ

Labeling your projects with the date is a great idea. It would really make you think! You look really ready for the year!
Yes, I am feeling a need to get moving too.
Those patty cakes will look great - and I like the way you labelled your boxes - I have done something similar - but most of them are hidden in the cupboard - only 3 are on display - does that mean I am trying to hide something?? And I havent been brave enough to date them - though I did make a new years resolution to at least make a note somewhere of whenj I start things....mmmm better do that.
Well done! I like your fabrics. Great tip/idea on pressing all the edges before sewing. I suppose you just have to don't you? Look forward to seeing your progress.
I like your fabric choices. Looks yummy!
Looks like you're organised.... the boxes are a good idea... I like the fabrics you are using, nice colours...
Looks like you're off to a good start.
