Too many pots spoil the cook

Sometimes I just overwhelm myself!  I am starting yet another quilt-along for the year, plus all the blocks of the month (which I promised I wouldn't do this year).  Sigh.  This morning, I started Pat Sloan's quilt-along called 'Childhood Games'... The first block is called 'Hide and Seek'.  I fussy cut kitties and made the block.


Now... back to Bonnie Hunter's 'Frolic' mystery, which is a mystery no more.  I've got the first border on, just have to decide what to do about the last 2 borders... the sawtooth borders don't exactly appeal to me, so I think I may decide on something different.  Time to do some designing.  I will still, I'm sure, use the half square triangles originally designed to be the sawtooth borders, but I may re-configure them, maybe pinwheels?  or pointy lozenges?  I'll figure something out.

    Love your kitty blocks. Like you, I have signed on for too many sew-a-longs and BOMs. I just can't stop myself. Maybe one day I'll actually accomplish all I set out to do. Looks like you're on the way with yours. Great job.
