Fabriholics Anonymous - Dieting and staying on track

I've spent the last couple of weeks focusing on putting together long term quilt tops that have finally reached that "stage" of getting all their blocks finished.  Tokyo Subway is all in one piece, and my Modern Sampler is partially sashed.  I'm just at that boring bit where the thrill of new projects, new fabrics and new everything else helps to get through that monotonous bit onto the next bit.  But with a list of WIP's like mine (and having sworn off starting new projects and buying new fabric) I am having to make adjustments to the way I normally work.  Quilting has started to lose some of its sparkle... anyhoo...

... onto fabric.  Confession time... I had to buy some batting, so I bought some binding fabric.  This is for the Tokyo Subway and I think it'll look perfect, and I'm sure it fits into the necessary purchases department.  While it is pretty, it is a struggle to describe the purchase as exciting though.

I also received a late Xmas present... a Hoffman Bali Charm pack and bag pattern :0)

 Isn't it yummy?  This is a Parfait set... and much more exciting... looks like you could eat it.

Thanks Monika.  It might just turn into something that looks a little bit like this... if I am ever allowed to start a new applique project.  I think I bought this pattern about this time last year.

Talking about applique projects, long term readers will remember the My Tweets quilt (started late 2011?), in which progress has been relatively quiet practically non-existent this year.  This morning I finished fusing another block...

And the blocks so far.  Two blocks need machine blanket stitch.

For a bit of variety, and sticking to projects that are on my WIP list, I've added a few more scrap tiny square blocks to my Seeing Squares  pile.  This is one of the larger units that combines the smaller units into a 12" block - just to get some idea of how it is starting to look together.  Haven't decided yet whether to swap out some of the coloured squares (leftovers from the Tokyo Subway) for neutral solids to give it a bit more airy feel.

Any thoughts?
