Frustration leads to something new!

I feel like I have been up since the crack of dawn and so that I would not wake anyone I went and sat in the lounge room and finished off my Dragonfly block for In My Garden (Block 2).

Yay, super pleased with myself.

Went and Ironed it, then off to trim it to size. 

A few profanities later and I have thrown it across my cutting table in disgust. 

I don't know how but the three dragon flys are easily 2" tall and the block is only meant to be 1 3/4" tall  ..... the math on that one just wont work no matter how I hold my tongue. 

So in utter disgust I made a coffee and landed here ... in front of my Computer reading blogs and what pops up in the second post ......

That's it.... I'm in!!!!!!

I don't need any pushing on this one, especially being it is on my to-do list for this year :o)

So let it be said ..... In My Garden is on a break, after all I am not totally sold on Needle Turn Applique and maybe only one project with Needle Turn at a time is more me  .... watch out Some Kind Of Wonderful Quilt, I should be back with you soon :o)

Now back to the Swoon Quilt-along.

Katy over at Monkey Do is hosting the Quilt-along and there is also a Flickr Group here if you are interested.  As at the time I am sitting here typing there are already 170 members.

Now, any suggestions for fabric?

I am torn with going the same as the original

Or in Hometown, which is a favourite of mine or something different again.

I am open to suggestions.

Which ever way I go I will have to purchase fabric and that won't be happening until the kiddies are back at school ... dreaded book lists and school fees!

So, in revision.  My early morning frustrations have turned into excited anticipation :o)

How's your day going?

Hugs, Sharon
