I've been trying really hard to get my Log Cabin quilt finished and to the quilter this weekend but I'm about out of time. My darker color choices were a little too dark but I like the secondary pattern they create! I plan on putting on two borders and then taking it to my wonderful quilter.
I really need to plan a little better with my pictures and maybe pick up before taking the picture. But. . . what fun would it be if you couldn't see how we really live? Yep, it's usually a house full of teenagers and a little guy in his underwear. I'm just shocked my vacuum didn't make it into this picture cuz its sure in a lot of them. Caitlyn didn't like the quilt when I showed it to her. Then I showed her this picture and she got a whole different view of it and now likes it. My husband really likes it and actually thought it was for us (its commissioned). He was so sad that I decided to make us a Log Cabin quilt in the star burst layout.
I had planned on doing a scrappy blue coin quilt for our bed but I guess I'll go with the (much more difficult) Starburst one instead. Oh the things we do for those we love!
Liam's new favorite thing is painting. This week he painted a bird feeder and a small bird house (and the table, and his shirt, and himself, and anything else within 10 feet!). He's quite the little artist. I asked him what color these were and he said, "Every color" and indeed they are! What a great little artist!
Tomorrow we have one softball game (so far we're 2-0 in this tournament!!!!) then I have a date with my sewing machine for the rest of the day.
I want to do a sew-a-long with Laura . The block she is using is the Japanese + and x block. I'm not crazy about the block at all and almost thought about not doing it. Instead I'm gonna forge on, use some of those scraps and try to make it a block I love! I'll let you know how it goes. I wanted to start yesterday but still haven't gotten to it. I'll make a few blocks tomorrow and let you know what I think.
Until next time!
