It's true. Yesterday I pulled out a project and went to town. Well, not so much to town as to the first pit stop. But I had my ipod blasting and I was mixing and matching colors to my heart's content.
I've had that mat for probably 10 years, and it's lived under my bed (in three different houses) for most of that time. It's all cut up and probably needs to be replaced...but since I only craft like twice a year...a new mat seems kind of silly. Right?
So, yes, I'm making a quilt. Just a throw really. For the living room. The kids and I like to turn the fan on and lie under a quilt while we are watching tv. Sterling, who doesn't like the fan on, usually walks into the room and wonders (out loud) why we are using BOTH the fan AND a quilt. Because we like it that way honey. It feels breezy. And cozy. All at the same time.
So far you can see I've cut the green and blue pieces. But have no fear...the brown and orange are on their way. I've decided to do a coin quilt. You can get the idea here. Mine won't be crib size...at least once I figure out the difference between crib size and throw. I need it to be long enough to reach my toes. Otherwise it's worthless. Mostly.
Today I'm hitting the road...driving about two hours away to pick up the big girls from girls' camp. Then Monday I'm driving them to San Antonio for EFY. Then Thursday there is another three and a half hour drive to Lampasas. I fear for my little project. It's not exactly traveling material. So...it may be after the 4th before we see progress. I'll let you know.
Cool quilt pattern! Are you using Lila's fabric too?
