IT'S COMING TOGETHER!

You wouldn't believe how long it took me to get this layed out. I have to say I wasn't really in love with all the fabric in this line but I was determined to use it all (especially since I won it)! And I'm glad I did. I absolutely love it and can't wait to get it finished. I've really enjoyed making this quilt, despite a few bumps along the way. Let's just say me and my seam ripper have become very good friends! Anyway, I can't WAIT to get this finished. I'm planning on a coordinating purple or gray for the back and I'm even going to FMQ this one - Yikes!

SLOW...and not steady!

I FINALLY got started on my circle quilt! I've done all the cutting and spent AGES matching the circles to the squares. Why does this always take me so long? Here's a little peak! I've already got my thread so I'm ready to start sewing the circles.




Here's another sneak peak of something I've been working on. I've had the idea for this quilt in my head for ages. It's a bit of an experiment and I'm not sure how it will turn out. If I like the results this may become my first pattern!
