Jackpot!

I had a charm pack from Moda's Chocolate Wovens line (from when I went way overboard and thought I had to have name brand quilting fabric) and really wanted to do a framed 4 patch with it.  Problem was, I didn't have enough coordinating fabric.  I was in a quilt shop yesterday and found about 9 of the prints and bought some of each!  I am soooo excited for this find!  This quilt will be on the to-do list for awhile but I can't wait!  I really love the Chocolate line from Moda and it was one that I just had to have.  I have a sampler quilt made out of it and am planning another one with my "leftovers".  I think a "Turning Twenty" might work well.

My 9 patch was coming along nicely and I was able to get all 7 rows done this week, but one row doesn't want to match up with the one above it. They looked just fine hanging on my "design curtain" and matched up nicely but that one row seems to have grown while hanging there! I need to do a little adjusting and hopefully will have the top done on Wednesday.  I'm going to have some really long days with school - Mondays I will leave the house at 4 am and get home between 6 and 6:30 pm.  I sure hope the girls can make supper cuz I'm pretty sure I'll be ready to crash when I walk in the door!

And just because pictures are nice and I don't have any new ones to show you, here's my favorite little sailor, Liam.  The caption that goes with this picture is:  Deadliest Catch?  Heck, my fishing pole is also a gun!
