Designing quilts is easy, writing the instructions isn’t terribly difficult. Piecing is fun, quilting is a blast. Naming them is impossible for me. Today I was designing the quilt for the February QOV and I cannot come up with a name for it. I have Pandora playing on the computer and thought I’d listen to the words of the songs for a possible quilt name. Here’s what I’ve come up with so far . . and I don’t think any of these are good choices! And this list took me all day. My guess is that I need to add some different channels if I want to come up with quilt names.
Red Neck
White Socks
Blue Ribbon Beer
You’re Going to be Sorry You Were Ever Born
My Boyfriend’s Back
Hey Paula
I Want To Marry You
A Pair of Jeans that Fit Just Right
Good thing I was sewing while I was listening, huh?
How do you all come up with names for your quilts?
Yesterday I finished the blocks for my Rolling Along top and I love it! But, I love all of the quilts I make! 
I think my plan is to sew the blocks into rows and then pack it all up, with the border strips and stick it in the “Retreat” box and work on this at the retreat next month. Sewing rows together and sewing borders on is pretty mindless .. I can do it and talk . . not that *I* will be talking much but, you never know . .
The border bundle is made. The strips are all sewn together and cut the right sizes for the borders with the sides for border #1 on top, then the top and bottom borders for border #1, then the same for borders #2 and #3. The binding is made so this one won’t be finished in January but it will be finished, along with the February QOV by the end of February so I’ll stay on target for my 12 QOVs in 2012.
The next instructions for Rolling Along will be posted tomorrow.
Anyone get a QOV done in January?
For those who are just joining or not able to keep up now, I’ve added the Rolling Along pattern to the Free Patterns page. Click on that bar at the top of the page and it will take you to all the patterns I have posted on the blog for free. I’ll keep adding links to Rolling Along as they are posted.
Yesterday I got all my star blocks done. I have about a third of my chain blocks done.
