yearning

I haven't made a quilt for ages but have had a long, long yearning to do so. 
Sometimes the ideas in my head need time to mull over and sometimes along the way they get confused and muddled. I really want to push my quilting ability and do some complicated stuff, maybe this is what's scaring me. 
I yearn to try a wagon wheel type pattern but with ultra thin and long, thin triangular pieces radiating out from the centre and a postage stamp quilt with teeny, tiny squares - possibly combining the two.

Fabric has been gathering in all this time for such a quilt. Today I pulled it all out along with all my other fabric. This, I have realised, is the reason it has not started. Its all wrong. The fabric that has been gathering in this holding pile would not work and I now remember my idea for a 'tea and cake' quilt. Another idea from way back long forgotten and muddled into the ideas of others. I pulled out more and more fabric in a vain attempt to save the situation.

So I headed to the bookcase armed with a coffee to trawl through books for ideas and have come up with something that will use these wrong fabrics to make a much simpler quilt. Maybe with a teeny tiny sugar cube like stamp sized border.

For the 'long in process' quilt I need to think of fabric and colour and gather inspiration and so the wagon wheel stamp quilt will wait another day or so. With a new 'holding pile' to begin.
