I love the fabrics I used in this quilt: oranges, red, purple, browns, greens, and lots of different creams. Why use two fabrics when you can use 37?
BUT, I'm really disappointed with my piecing skills on it. I know I'm better than this - but I was cruising through just getting stuff done instead of enjoying it. This is an easy quilt and I don't think I have a single sharp point on there. Bleh. Yes, they always look better after being quilted but I'm not going to pay for fancy quilting on this when I disappointed with the way I pieced it. So we'll see. I'm sure after I pack it away and get it out in two or three months I'll think it looks better. :)

In finishing news, I finished a bag, a bag rework, a pillow, and an egg. Pictures to come later! Today was a busy day with a fun birthday party and oh my, I'm now on facebook. I can't promise I'll update it more than my blog but at least I can quickly look at other people's pages!

Travis really needs to stop shoving beads into his ears and nostrils. It's getting really old. The easiest way to get them out is to have him blow, if it's too tight you can use a drinking straw. But seriously, it's getting really, really old. The joy of being three!
The quilt looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAdvice from my LQS, when someone compliments your quilt say "thank you". Do not start pointing out what you could've done better. (I always start pointing out faults on my work too...)
I used to stick legos up my nose. My mommy loved me too. :D
LOL I know just what you mean about the beads in the nose - my brother once got a dried pea stuck up his nose!
ReplyDeleteAnd I still haven't quite 'got' Facebook either - I'd much rather blog.
