Square in Square, Dresden Plate & Potato Bags

 
I read recently that most quilter's sew all their blocks for a quilt, put the batting and backing on and then set the quilt aside and start on a new project. The problem I have is I have several projects going at one time, and none are complete. I love having the option of working on something different so I don't get bored with the current project.

Presently have 3 projects to complete and one that I have cut out the fabric and I am ready to sew using the foundational paper piecing technique. The first project is a quilt with black and white pock a dot fabric with black and yellow blocks. The second is Dresden circles (I can't decide what I want to make with these) and Third is potato bags. I am experimenting with making a smaller potato bag for single person/potato use.

The project I want to start on is a wall quilt with pine tree's that have snow on them.



Project number 1:  The block for this quilt is called a square in a square.
[I did not name this block]

The blue background is not part of the quilt.
