Meantime, I'm trying to work through it! Here's what I've been accomplishing. First, the String-X quilt:
It's a kiddie size quilt, a combination of one of Bonnie Hunter's free patterns and my eventual discovery of the Rainbow Scrap challenge. Currently living on the back of the sofa.
Next, the Snuggly Ugly:
This one has grown on me. I quite like it. It's homely - but homey. Atop our comforter, it kind of feels like a weighted blanket.
And here's my current project, a quilt my Aunt Debi has commissioned from me for her mother, Nancy. I need to have it done by Mother's Day next month. Here it is as laid out on the bed earlier tonight, before I started sewing all those string blocks and framed embroidery blocks together:
Right now I've got it into two single-block rows (top and bottom) and four double-block rows (the ones with the embroideries. Tomorrow I hopefully sew the rows together then figure out the math for the inner border (gold, same fabric as is framing the embroideries) and the outer border (mottled green, hope I have enough for the backing also).
