Finish It Friday

This really isn't a finish, but the beginning of something and an end to my seemingly agonizing decision about what to make with my gorgeous fabric.  With the way I have been thinking about, reading, and researching different quilt patterns, you would have thought I was making a decision about something life-altering.  Really, it is just fabric.  What is my problem!?

The Swoon pattern was considered.  I have the pattern, I have watched Camille's Craftsy class, and I have browsed through the Hopping on a Swoon-A-Long on Flickr...or whatever it is called.  Lots of quilters have made this quilt, so there must be something to that. 

Then I found Anna Maria Horner's Spinning Stars pattern.  It seemed that I kept coming back to this quilt, but something kept holding me back from starting it. 

Then when I thought back to my favorite quilts to make, these have never been the ones that require a pattern.  I like to do my own thing.  Time to sew is limited, and I want to have FUN when I sew.  So I quit spending time thinking about what I was going to sew and just dug into this loveliness.

  
I even cut into some of my Liberty prints...and messed up and had to recut some pieces.  {Insert small cuss word}  And then everything was okay. 

My decision is to play and have fun sewing.  As of right now, I am going to make a Spinning Stars block.  Then I will give a Swoon block a try.  Maybe I will throw in some flying geese or a Grandmother's Fan block or a Dresden plate or an improve log cabin or strings...get the idea?  I am going to play!
