Feeling Fidgety

I have been so fidgety lately, flitting from one task to another, barely getting anything done.  So, I decided since I was flitting, I might as well start some new projects.  I am not one of those people who starts one project, only works on that one project, and finishes it, oh no.  I like to have a dozen projects going at once :)

The Single Girl Quilt is coming along nicely, but I needed, no I CRAVED to start something new and springy and fresh.  So, I pulled out my fabric bins and started digging around.  I found some lovely yardage I had bought of Curio, by Basic Grey for Moda.  Aquas, lemony yellows, creams, spring green, it was perfect!  I combined it with some other fabrics and was well on my way.
I have been wanting to make a "plus" quilt forever.  So, the pattern I chose is from the Simplify book by Camille Roskelly.
I cut out the pattern in a few hours on Sunday, and laid it out to get my colors all organized.
Now I am sewing the rows all together.  It has been really easy so far.

And since the cross stitch I was working on was finished, I started another new one :)  I worked on this while watching the movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, and cried my eyes out.  I need to watch happier movies.
So, that is what I have going on.  What are you working on??  Anything you are dying to start?

I'm going to start a Plus quilt too! It's been on my to-do list for a while now! I'm also itching to start a triangle quilt. So many quilts, so little time! Love that stack of fabric you pulled o:)
