Something more important than quilting?!?

Today I found out that the annual college ball is being moved forward 5 weeks which may not seem like a big problem to most but when you take into account that I'm too tall to buy a dress and I need to make it, it's made me panic a little.

So the cotton is being put to one side and I'm attempting to make this:

Not in white (I don't want to scare the boyfriend!) but in a lovely teal colour:

Pattern ordered, fabric ordered. Fingers crossed I can make it in time!

Forget the quilt, what about the dress?!?

I've been concentrating so hard on finishing the wedding quilt that I'd completely forgotten that I have to make my dress to wear to the wedding.  I fell in love with these shoes and bought the last pair in the shop:

Impulse buy!  I then couldn't find anything to go with them at all so I found a pattern and bought some fabric.  That was 2 months ago and I've only just remembered that I have some pretty shoes and a hat but nothing to wear in between.  Not really appropriate for church.

It's like a great big fabric jigsaw puzzle.  Time to get sewing....
