At Loose Ends

How could I possibly be at loose ends with two quilts in the works?  It's because I don't have a steady, quick-to-stitch, in-progress quilt to cut and stitch.  When I'm in the middle of cutting and sewing a quilt, I have plenty of ideas for the next quilt.  I jot them down, make drawings, etc.  Now that it's time to choose and begin, I'm hemming and hawing.  Colors, block size, etc.  But then maybe I really shouldn't be starting a new quilt anyway because I have 4 or 5 tops waiting to be quilted and at least one waiting for a decision about whether it's a finished top or not. 

This red/green is in progress.  I'm not completely committed to it yet. 

I began adding gold/yellow squares in the center of the 4-patch blocks.  Maybe they all need gold in the center?  Maybe the light blocks are too light but maybe the light crosses are okay?  Maybe all the circles should be the same size?  Maybe the 4-patch blocks should have green squares and red bars?  There are so many variables to consider.  It helps to look at a photo of the blocks.  Creates objectivity, I think.  I probably just need to keep making blocks and then play.

Center Light is exactly half quilted:  I counted the blocks today. 

I had hoped I was further along because I claimed this as my goal for a September finish for the 2013 Finish-A-Long.  I should probably find a few good movies to watch and settle in for at least a few hours every day.

Can you recommend some good (non-R-rated) movies?
