This thing is going so fast! I love it.

So I made this…

In about 4 hours total. Started cutting and piecing Friday night and assembled the blocks and border today. I should be working on my fall quilt, but its boring at the moment, and easy piecing is more my style. I am extremely happy with how it turned out. In fact, its supposed to be a wall hanging for Christmas and I want it to hang it right now.
I was reading this blog the other night, and I was really inspired by all of her scrappy quilts, and all the redwork she does. I’ve always wanted to do a crazy log cabin quilt out of scraps, and I was surprised at how fast it went. Most of the scraps are leftover from my tree skirt, and there are a few prints from Tula Pink’s Nest.

One of these things is not like the other
I was really excited to start this quodiblet pattern I bought at a quilt shop on vacation. The “rails” blocks (pictured at the bottom) turned out really well. When I moved on to the checkerboard blocks I made some unfortunate color choices.
Yeah… the spots on the gold combined with the brown reminded me of an old spotty banana, not attractive and not even remotely matching the blocks I have already done. Oops.

Kitten
We got a tiny boy cat yesterday. Still deciding on a name. He wailed for most of the night, but then was very playful today during the day.
