works in progress

I think I need a good dose of finish it up Friday. How about you?

(there are at least 9 more works in progress not represented here. no wonder I'm feeling frantic these days!)

I plan to start the linky party back up this Friday (about 10am central time). For obvious reasons. :)

Also, I hear that leaving comments has been a huge pain because of the word verification, so I'm turning it off for a bit....we shall see how that goes.

Hope you are having a great Wednesday!

  5. Can't wait to see what everyone finishes. I turned my WV off a while ago, and I've heard that if you do not allow anonymous comments, you won't be plagued with spam.

  11. Look forward to Friday!!
    I hate that word verification, drives me mad!! You can help cut down spam if you find you get any by not allowing anonymous comments and/or approving comments on posts older than a few days.

  13. I am thinking that wash tub in the corner is holding pure greatness!!! What a fantastic idea!! I just love that!! I'd be pulling my hair out if my design wall looked like that....I feel overwhelmed with 3 or 4 projects going!! However, it is pretty to look at!

    Wow! Tried to comment on your Drano quilt. It is awesome! What is your method for sewing so many little pieces and getting it done so fast? Please help me to be able to get done faster!

  16. Let's see if I can get something finished by Friday! Thanks for the motivation.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Your design wall is so inspiring...I've been really motivated to finish things up this week too! So thanks for the extra motivation to keep working at it!

    Now that's what I call a design wall! So fun!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Wowsers! Here's the thing--they really all look great together! You could just put them all in one quilt. Oh how I love those sewing machine blocks!!(and exclamation points!)

    ReplyDelete
  20. Your wall looks awesome! Love to see other peoples WIP's, so I know I'm not alone.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Your projects look so inspiring! Looking forward to linking up ; )

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oh my gosh, is that your WIP wall? I've never seen one of those....I LOVE IT!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I don't have a design wall but I can surely admire yours.

    I am thrilled you are doing Finish Fridays again and I know you already know what my first finish will be. I'm going to make it happen so I can stop evading your question about whether the shams are done or not!

    Thanks for the lovely kick in the pants. I know you didn't mean it that way but I really deserved it.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Wow that design wall does look a bit "crazy!". You are lucky to have one and a husband who tolerates it ;)

    ReplyDelete
  25. wow... im not sure how you work with all those WIP all at the same time! I will deffinitly be joining on those finish fridays!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yay! I'm hoping to start linking up (but not this week, because I'm running a race Friday and Saturday). My list is SO long and completely static at this point. Thanks for the nudge.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Looking forward to the Friday linky party! So glad you are starting it up again. I've missed it!

    ReplyDelete
  28. It's a lovely wall full of colour and energy!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Oh my goodness - what a beautiful mix up of WIP's! I'm totally interested in the linky party - I need a good kick in the rear!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I think I need a month of just Finish It Up Fridays!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Too true about the word verification. I have tried to comment and have just given up. I can not wait to see all your beautiful blocks done. They look awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Is it me or would your entire design wall make a fantastic scrappy quilt? LOL, Maybe I will find a way to finish something!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I want your design wall!!!!!!! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  34. OMG!! Amazingly beautiful!!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Your wall looks amazing! Won't you miss it if you finish too much?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Wow- what a full wall. Can't wait to see the finishes.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'd just sew them all together and name it "Quilter's Delight." It would certainly be original! :) Loving the monochromatic stuff going on in the upper right corner.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I love your wall. Good luck with finishes. And thanks for turning off the verification.

    ReplyDelete
  39. My design wall is jealous of your design wall! I don't know how you find time for all of those projects. I'm looking forward to seeing all of your Friday finishes though! :)

    ReplyDelete
  40. I thought I was the only one with that many WIP (and we will not even discuss the UFOs).
    The design wall is just amazing. I can't wait to see the projects as you finish them.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Wow what a wall of goodness. Yes finish up Friday is back.

    Your UFO's look marvelous!! I have to say I have been a Slacker. Yay to your Finish Up Friday return. I need the motivation. Thanks!!

    ReplyDelete
  43. So many beautiful blocks :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. As my daughter would say "Oh my doodness"! That is one packed design wall. And I have to ditto the comment about not allowing anonymous comments. Once I changed that on my blog, the spam comments ended.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I'm lovin gthe patchwork-y stars and the pink tonal churn dash - what can I say - I lean toward traditional.

    ReplyDelete
  46. your design wall is so inspiring!
    the log cabin-ish blochs on the bottom, below the brown star just scream table runner for me.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Save yourself some stress and make it all one big quilt- the blocks are lovely together!!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Wow - traditional turned modern....I LOVE it!!!! Wish it were on my wall, then on my quilting machine, then on my bed!!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. My goodness girl - what an incredible wall of beauty!!! Can't wait to see them all put together!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Oooh. I like the color pallete you've been using. Such great pinks and tealy blues. And those sewing machine blocks are way cute.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Maybe you need a bigger WALL??? ;)

    ReplyDelete
  52. Hate that word verification thing, but I understand the need for it.
    I have been enjoying the drano quilt project! I followed some of your links back to other blogs. What a fun journey.
    That style of quilt is one of my favorites. I think because it uses up what would normally be thrown away....and is yet so pretty.
    I am weird, though, I like those photomosaics, too!!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Wow, I couldn't do that much at once. I need for things to be finished before I can start on something else. My brain hurts when I have too many things to think about!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Very impressive design wall! Love that picture.

    ReplyDelete

    wow you look busy

    ReplyDelete
  56. I know the feeling. I have way too many projects going on, myself. These look beautiful. The word verification has been a big pain for me....sometimes taking 3-4 tries to get a comment in! So, thanks! Hope all's well!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Fantastic design wall! It would make a great quilt, as someone said. And thank you for turning off word verification; it was a pain :)

    ReplyDelete
  58. I saw that picture and thought the whole thing was a new, crazy-ish quilt. Then I realized it is all of your WIPs. Either way, it looks WAY cooler than my non-existent WIP wall! Can't wait to link up. :)

    ReplyDelete
  59. Well, if you get too frantic you could always just piece all those blocks together and make one quilt. They have a great Sampler look to them. :)

    ReplyDelete
  60. Wow, that's quite the wall! The first question I thought of was: how do you keep it all separate? I don't have a design wall (the only free wall space I have in the house is upstairs, while I sew downstairs. Not very convenient.), but I would LOVE to be able to put my blocks up and see what they look like instead of laying them out on the floor. Oh well, you're looks very colorful and fun!

    Finish it up Friday's were my favorite, and I'm glad you're bringing it back! Hooray!!

    ReplyDelete
  61. I'm really glad you're bringing it back! :) Can't wait to see what everyone is working on.

    ReplyDelete
  62. What a beautiful & inspiring picture!

    ReplyDelete
  63. So excited about "finish it up friday" Spend my Sunday morning with a cup of coffee and browsing all the fun posts. I've missed it. Thanks, Amanda Jean! Looking forward to all of the great inspiration!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Now I know why I keep all my projects hidden in drawers, I think I would overwhelm myself to see them all on the wall like that! Would take me an hour to decide where to start! I love the colours though!

    ReplyDelete
  65. wow! I love that wall! I would just leave it and call it wallpaper!

    ReplyDelete
  66. Love seeing your wall. I've just finished a quilt inspired by you

    ReplyDelete
  67. It all looks fabulous together! I think you should sew it up for a kitchen sink quilt and call it lovely! Love your style.

    ReplyDelete
  68. The overall look is fantastic, but I agree with Books Bound's comment that my favorite section is the upper right corner where you have the monochromatic blocks. It inspires me to get my scraps separated by color and put something together. I have flannel hung like this but only put up one project at a time. This is way better. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I love the design wall of half finished items. I have a box of unused blocks (left over from various quilts) and just this week the box no longer fits them. I really need to throw them up on the wall and figure out how to make a quilt out of all these blocks.

  70. Can I ask you...is your design wall just flannel nailed up to the full height of the wall? Looks great. I seriously need something like that! Jenn
