I meant to bring my JellyRoll Sizzle quilt to the retreat for Show & Tell, even though it still needed the border (which will finish off the pinwheels.)  It's a 'commission' for a friend's new house; she needs it to cover a specific area, which is why it's so narrow.  The shimmery 'white' has been in my stash for a while, just waiting for the perfect use.

Love the white pinwheels and the colors you used.

The irridescent colors on the white are dramatic.  Even though I bought yardage (with no project in mind then), now I wish I'd bought more!

Nice!!!

Love the colors and the 2ndary pinwheel design!

It's an easy pattern.  I kept seeing it last year on the Quilting with Pat Sloan site, when 'everyone' was making one, and needed to make one of my own.  

I like that sizzle, Bobbi!

You'll likely <g> get to see it "up close and personal" at Foothills whenever I finish it.  The irridescent fabric needs to be seen in person to truly appreciate it.

While I work on the final steps of my original clamshell project (where I realized that I was assembling the clamshells **all wrong**), I am also organizing and minimally prepping for my next EPP project, Tula Pink's "Alchemy".

Alchemy is a row by row that kinda/sorta blends/coordinates the colors as you go down the quilt.  I had a bunch of left over fabric from Inner Cube, which was the impetus for my doing Alchemy.  I also realized that my Tula Pink leftovers probably would NOT be enough, so as nearly as I was able to, I substituted fabric from my stash.  No, the substituted fabric is NOT Tula Pink but I believe the final project will still have the same look-and-feel of the original.  And if it doesn't ... who's gonna compare?  :-)

I thought for quite a while on how organizing Alchemy for ease of working on it.  What I have finalized on is a letter/legal storage box that holds hanging folders.  Each hanging folder will contain the instructions, diagrams & fabric for each row plus one more hanging folder for "general" stuff.

This picture is of the storage box that contains the entire project.  The hanging folders are just the standard ones that are used in office files.  They keep each row separated and I can pull just one to work on, without disturbing the rest.

This is the contents of the bag for Row 1.  At this time, I've already pulled all the non-Tula Pink fabrics.  I've cut all the fabrics necessary for this row into the appropriate sized squares ... in this case, the hexies are 3/4", so my squares are 2" square.  I have the instructions on how many hexies of each fabric to make, a small box of hexie templates.   each little pile of cut fabric squares is tacked together and labeled.

If I want to work on this row while on the go, all I need to do is add one of my small to-go sewing kits (thread, needles, pins, scissors).   I have a to-go sewing kit sitting on the side of my sewing table .. easy to grab.   Prepped hexies are dropped back into the ziploc baggie.  When all the hexies have been prepped, then I will use the included diagram to assemble them into the required units.  The finished units will also get dropped back into the baggie until needed.

The other rows have similar ziploc baggies with their specific supplies.   I'm rather pleased with this organization ... it makes sense to me.  When Alchemy is done, the storage box can be re-purposed for another project or storage.  :-)

And she is off and running on another forever project....that she will likely complete in the next 123 days.
