WIP

My ghetto design wall, better than no design wall . . .

Don't worry about the paneling - it's going . . . hopefully soon.

New Project - Another Baby Quilt

These friends need to take a baby break for a bit!  I can't keep up with them, much less work on things for my own use.  But there's nothing sweeter than babies, and it gives me an excuse to buy fabric . . .

This one is based on Oh Fransson's Planetarium quilt.  I saw it, loved it, and figured out how to adjust it to fit my needs for a baby quilt.  The quarter square triangles were made using charm packs of the prints and white 5" squares I cut to match and then trimmed down to 3.5".  So far these are the pieced and trimmed ones - I've still got lots of QSTs and strips to go.Fabric is It's a Hoot and Kona Cotton in White.

Goodies!

It was quite the package day today - diapers for Sam, the comic book backer boards I ordered to use for fabric organization, and my Connecting Threads order.  I've been really good the past few months, not buying much of any stash and only a few bits and pieces for upcoming projects (and everything on sale).  So I was very excited to open up the box and find:

Bed & Breakfast 2.5" strips (for The Farmer's Wife quilt)

Golden Afternoon 2.5" strips - just because I've wanted them or a long time

Christmas 5" Squares

Quilters Candy Solid 2.5" Strips (to use in a Paintbox Quilt a la Oh Fransson!)

And this quilt kit - it's a crib size, but I thought it was cute.  It will go in the guest room.

And some progress shots - I can't divulge any details of this project, but you can see I've made 4 of these particular nine-patches.
