the uncomfortable quilt

This weekend I am travelling outside my comfort zone.
I am attending a quilting workshop. It's hosted by the wonderful people of the Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild, so that's not what makes me uncomfortable. It's that it will be my first quilting workshop.... I've been a real learn-as-I-go-and-make-mistakes kind of a quilter and I have the uneasy sense that I don't even KNOW what it is I don't know about the whole quilt-building process...

It's also that I know I haven't actually finished this little project yet...

Or this one.....

Or this....

And finally, what makes me uncomfortable is that I have no ideas. Zero. I've looked at the inspiration photos for the class. I've looked at boards on Pinterest. I've looked at my collected fabrics and bought some (because they were on sale of course) and still, I don't know what I will make, what colours and combos I will use, what this quilt (pillow? wall-hanging?) will be for....

I've got some blues:

a "few" greens:

Then there are the blue-greens:

or maybe some purples:

The possibilities are endless, which is a good thing, just not very comforting.

Apparently my camera also sensed my discomfort and freaked out a little with the red-couch background in these photos. I'll try for something more soothing when I photograph the follow-up to the workshop, I promise.
