QUILT IN A DAY (#2)!!

This is the second time I've completed a quilt in a day. Here's the top (which took about two hours)...

I had some help with pinning (or at least some supervision)...

And here's the finished quilt...

This is Lil' Rascals from Moda - it's soooooo cute and a little different from the fabric I have been working with lately! I got a charm pack about six months ago and came across some yardage a while ago. I sat down with some graph paper and a pencil and came up with this little pattern. I think it turned out really cute. It's headed over to the shop!

NO CONTROL!

Okay, I admit it (that's the first step, right)? I have no control over fabric. Everything I see I want to make (or at least try to make)! It doesn't matter if it's vintage, modern, simple, intricate...I want to make it all! So I'm giving in...sort of (I'm pretty sure that's NOT the second step)! Anyway, I came across two projects here that I fell in love with (Baby Lattice Quilt and Mod Circles Quilt). I seemed to remember that my LQS had Lily and Will but wasn't sure they had what I needed. Well....they did!

I also picked up a few necessities for the Mod Circles Quilt, too...

I`ve decided to let go of my guilt and give myself permission to make only those things I absolutely LOVE (and to finish one project before starting on the next)! Ahh, the world is full of good intentions!

SOMETHING NEW!

I have been wanting to try bias binding for a while but was a little nervous. I found a few really good tutorials and gave it a go on this little patchwork quilt. This is the result...

I think it turned out really well. I LOVE the rounded corners. It was actually easier than I thought. It does use more fabric but not having to deal with mitered corners makes it worthwhile! This little quilt is headed over to the shop.
