A Patriotic Procrastiquilting (or Proquiltinating)

When you are supposed to be getting ready for your Quilts of Valor sew day …. And you see something that catches your eye …


And you say - I’ll just get those up on the design wall…..

And then you say - let me just stitch a few together

And before you know it …. You have a top !!!

Procrastiquilting ( it’s a word - I promise!)


The rest of the story?
I got loaded up - didn't forget but a few things and!
We had a great sew day!!!

Procrastiquilting is a word that I am definitely going to be adding to my dictionary; thank you! What a fun bars and stars variation.

Robin said...

This reminds me of an article I read years ago in Reader's Digest. It was called; "The Positive Power of Procrastinating". You definitely made good use of your time.

Oh, yes, Procrastiquilting is definitely a word! I'm a huge procrastinator and so recognized it immediately ;-)

I love that word you just created! May I use it!?!?

Stars and Bars- what is not to love?

I really like this quilt (even though I am Canadian) especially the wonky stars. I actually have made two quilts of Valor when I was wintering in Florida a few years ago. ... My take on proquiltinating is quilting when I am procrastinating about cleaning. LOL

Oooooh, fun! That's a very fun setting. Congrats on a great sew day.

Let's hear it for squirrel activities. Great things come from them sometimes!

What a delightful reinterpretation of “stars and stripes!” So fresh and fun, yet definitely recognizable as a patriotic quilt. Great job with your “proquiltinating!”

I love your procrastiquilt! It's what we all hope to make each and every day. I just love the stars and stripes together. Simple and effective wins the day!! Well done!
