The Hundred Day Hustle with Kelsey Sews!

New notebooks mean I am SERIOUS about getting it together! BTW This notebook is great; 1/3 ruled, 1/3 gridded, 1/3 blank, 100% AWESOME!
Wow! September 22, one hundred days until the end of the year! Kelsey from Kelsey Sews is heading up the 100 Day Hustle to encourage us to hustle through our to-do lists and start 2013 with a blank slate. Looking over my goals that I posted at the beginning of this year, I cannot believe how out of control my to-do lists have become! Luckily, I have been a little more productive at sewing than I have been at blogging, but there is still a LOT of work to do. My list (including the "not counting on it " list) comes out to a project a week, which doesn't sound too overwhelming.

My To-Do List (in order of priority)
  1. Christmas Stockings x3 (Joy, Cherry Christmas & Winterkist)
  2. Quilt Baby Quilt (Children at Play) for Husband's Co-worker 
  3. Start & Finish Baby Quilt (Wee Folks) for Friend 
  4. "Two Left Feet" Quilt (Echo) for Brother  *Need help, see below!
  5.  Polaroid Quilt for Other Brother (Random, this will involve Llamas)
  6. Quilt for Sister (No clue)
  7. Love Letters Quilt (Etchings)

 TWO LEFT FEET QUILT DECISIONS!

This is the quilt. I can't decide what background fabric to use! I originally bought the black, but I am leaning towards flax now...what would you choose?


Would be Nice, but Not Counting on It!
• Christmas Table Runner • Quilt Patchwork Prism • Quilt Xs and Os • Quilt Sew.Happy.Quilt • Finish Super Mario Quilt Top • Finish Medallion Quilt Top

I really love it with the black! Good luck!

I too would choose the black. The fabrics have a lot of light backgrounds already and you wouldn't want them to get lost in the background. This sounds like a fun link-up, I'll consider participating too, if I don't forget to!

Love your list(s). Just creating mine and feel sick at the amount! BUt willlink up and hope for the best! Oh and I would go with teh darker one for your quilt!! Yum.

Marit said... #

That's a lot of quilts to make! I'm chiming in with the ladies above - I think the black will make the prints pop more.

I like the flax! Good luck with your lists, sounds like you will be busy in the next 100 days :)

I vote flax - it just seems to match the tone of your prints.

Janice @ Better off Thread said... #

ooo heading over to sign up. I need this push! I am going to vote for the black. I think it will give your more contrast than the flax. I really think it's apples to oranges, though. Either is going to be beautiful!

Carolyn said... #

I would go with the flax, I think it would offset the colors nicely. Your list looks pretty good!

Heidi Staples said... #

SO hard to choose between those two colors, but I'm leaning toward the...hmm...alright, now I'm not sure again...

I'm going to say black, but honestly I like the flax just as much!

Jennifer said... #

I would choose the black - it makes the colors pop more! cant wait to see more!

Kristy @ Quiet Play said... #

Ooh I need to make a list like this! Great idea!

Oh and as for the fabric choice - I vote the black! It just seems to make the colours pop a bit more!

Kelly said... #

Love the flax! I might have to make my list just to kick my butt into gear ;-)

Lucy | Charm About You said... #

I really love it with the black :)

Ann @thequiltingcats said... #

Just knowing there are 100 days, strike that 99 days, left added stress! Ugh!
Anyway, I love the black. but then again I'm not into all the white/pale quilts being made these days..

Looking at the comments, it seems we're not really helping you narrow it down at all. :) Personally, I like the black. A lot of the fabrics read sort of light to me anyway, so I'd go with the contrast. And this is being totally gender stereotype-y, but for some reason the black feels a little more masculine to me than the flax (though the flax is obviously not girly or anything!)

It's so nice you're making a quilt for your brother! My brother is on my list someday, but not the 2012 list. :P

Jane said... #

Good luck on your list! Since the quilt's for a guy, I'd go for the black.

Kelsey said... #

Thank you for joining in!! I like both so I'm not going to vote - helpful right?! Can't wait to see your projects - the polaroid quilt sounds interesting :)

Alison V. said... #

I like the black! Good luck with your list!

Melia Mae Quilting said... #

I like how you have stockings on your list too. I vote for the black. Good luck with your list.

Wendy said... #

That's quite a list, but so much more well thought out than mine!
