Overdue

my quilt is finally done!  you can read all about it on my blog here.  (is anyone still subscribed to this blog?)  thank you, everyone who contributed!  sorry it took me three years to finish....

backlog!

I've been meaning to get to these for awhile... I blame a shortage of dog biscuits to keep my puppy occupied long enough for me to sew! First up: the wonky stars for Jessica. These were officially my second and third time making wonky stars... it took me a while to get back in the groove, but I enjoyed getting reacquainted! And I love the citrus colors - so cheery.


Second were Jess's blocks. What are these called, anyway? In my brain, I think I'm cataloging them as little hills... either way, I'm in love. This block took me longer than I care to admit, but I really like the look. I think I feel compelled to add lots of details to these type of blocks, especially if I'm only making one - hope that's okay. And I didn't really have a choice when it came to "pop of color" - I'm teal all the way! I can't wait to see the finished product!

One more shelf for Carissa. I think of my stash as being more in the vintage/murky color range, so it was fun to discover I had a few scraps to add to Carissa's bright bookcase. This was a fun block to work on - quick, but with some challenges to arrange the book heights and colors in a way that made me happy. It's going to be a striking quilt when they're all put together!

(Arg. I thought I posted this a month ago. Must have hit "save now" instead of "publish post". Sorry.)

Round 2?

Is everyone ready? Or almost ready?

I am sending out the fabric this weekend and have made a mosaic on Flikr to give you some ideas but I am open to your creativity too.

I am sending a small square of this fabulous fabric that I would like for you to use in the center of each block (or sorta center) and how do 12" x 12" blocks sound?

You can feel free to add in any other fabrics you want and if you need more of any of the fabrics I send just let me know.

Can't wait to see what you guys create!
