I decided to start the "small plates" quilt from The Practical Guide to Patchwork, though I haven't decided how large I want to make it. On one hand it's been really easy to piece the blocks, but then if I want to try free motion quilting, it should probably be a smaller quilt to start out with. I guess I'll put together the current blocks and then decided how big to make it. There won't be any action on it for a while since I've run out of white fabric.
In other news you'll probably be seeing a lot of Simply Color from Moda in the next few months. I got a fat quarter bundle and just calculated that it's a total of 10.5 yards of fabric from 42 fat quarters. Between my new wave quilt and this one I've probably only used about eight so I've got a long way to go before it gets depleted from my stash. I'm not sure if I'll buy many more pre-cut bundles. Simply Color is great because it has a lot of colors I don't have in my stash, but if I really love a print, I'd probably want more of it than just a fat quarter. It also seems like the jelly rolls and other pre-cuts are overpriced for the amount of fabric that you get.
