First, I want to thank you all so much for your feedback.
I appreciate you so very much!
I guess I'll leave things alone.
I rather like the look of my blog right now.

I had to (read HAD to) go to 2 quilt shops today.
Not one, but TWO!
It was tough, but I managed.
{grin}
I picked up this fabric...
see the Eiffel Tower?
see the Statue of Liberty?
The fabric is called 'gnomesome traveler'...
it's crackin' me up!
I have a plan.
Don't you worry.
I picked up this dotted fabric for the binding of the Blush baby quilt.
It's gonna look darling!
And, this is the second day that I worked
on my Postage Stamp quilt.
on my Postage Stamp quilt.
These are NOT 1" finished squares, though.
Do you think I'm nuts?
Okay, so don't answer that.
I'm cheating...these will be 2" finished squares.
(By the way, those strips in the photo are just laying there.
They're not sewn together...don't want you to think that I cannot match seams!)
There is a lot of sewing and cutting with this quilt.
But, I can already tell that it'll be worth it in the end.
AND, today I cut my first binding on the bias!
YAY!
It's for my large whirlygig quilt.

Allegra would have been 12 years old today.
There are no words that would come close
to conveying how I feel...how much I miss her.

What a beauty Allegra was- with her pawprints on your heart you will never forget her.
Oh that gnome fabric is too funny! I can't wait to see what you do with it!
Love love love the 2" square quilt! Lots of work yes but like you said - worth it!
