Please tell me that I am not the only one that goes back and forth between projects. I've always done that so I can do what I want when I want. What I am trying to say is, I set the leaves aside and picked up my box of nine-patches and sewed some more of those. They were all cut and I didn't feel like cutting for the leaves. I was starting to get a little carried away, so stopped to count and sure enough 132 later, I decided I've enough of those till I start to arrange them into a quilt top. Lots of triangles to cut and sew first.
This is a rough idea of what I am doing with them. Not sure if I am going to set them diagonally or straight, it's the same thing either way. I thought I might even set them in a barn raising layout, but I just did that with the Birds in the Air quilt. So as usual, we'll see.

I've done the 9p on point with light/dark hsts for three or four quilts. (The units are 3.5" unfin. The Block Swappers have a quarterly mini-9p swap.) I love the effectof the lights/darks. (If you search my blog for "scrap quilts" you should be able to see a couple of them.)
I like the straight set for the 9 patches.
I prefer to work on multiple projects at a time. That way if one is getting tedious, I can turn it into a leaders and enders project and spend more time on something else that's more fun at the moment.
If I don't have multiple projects going, then I spend too much time puttzing around because I need to work on something I'm in the mood to work on. Makes perfect sense to me!
