Earlier this week I signed up for the Swoon quilt-along. I haven't signed up to anything since. I decided to make this quilt for me using the Happy Mochi Yum Yum fabric that I got for Christmas - this fabric is just so summery, I love it. By chance I had bought exactly 18 fat quarters - it was meant to be. So today I needed to get background fabric. I didn't want white or cream, so I was thinking navy. This is what I've ended up with. Not quite navy.
What else have I signed up for? The Oh My Stars Quilt Along. I started this earlier in the week (see my first bunch of stars here) and here is my second batch -all pinwheel stars. I think that chain piecing all five at once was maybe a bit too much....
The Tango Challenge to make a quilt with orange, one neutral colour and one other colour is another group I may have joined! Here is my fabric selection (warning - sunglasses required) - isn't it horrifically, garishly beautiful! Orange, pink and black... maybe I'll start this project at the weekend too.
And amongst all of this activity, my Chasing Chevrons quilt is still on my sewing table, though I haven't moved beyond the 15 blocks I made at the beginning of the month. Maybe this weekend.....
And the final new project of 2012 was the Quilt Aid block: I am continuing to make flowers from 1/2" hexagons....
Then of course I have all of the projects that I started last year...... heaven
The weekend will last for more than two days, won't it?

Love the fabrics you have picked out for the swoon-a-long! And the bright colors with the black.. yes, it is bright, but I think they are perfect together and will make a stunning combo! :o)
