Quilt Progress.....

Helllllloooo out there!!!

Well, I've been working on my quilt a bit over the past three days and seem to be getting somewhere. Here's a pic of my progress to date:

I have to sew together 13 strips (like these 3) in total, and then cut them into squares, which will actually be placed like diamonds on the quilt. I tend to second guess myself a lot, and now I'm not so sure I like these fabrics. My friend Holly texted me while I was working tonight and asked what was up. I said that I was quilting, but didn't think I liked the fabrics anymore. Her response?

"What? You were SEW excited about the fabrics, you have to love them!"

She thinks she's funny :-)

I think they're growing on me a little more today...I like them better than I did yesterday hahaha.

I had to stop by the cross-stitch store today and buy some fabric I needed and Sue (the owner) asked me if this meant that Sir Frederick has been put on hold. I said NO WAY! LOL! She was happy to hear it. Anyways, there was a woman sitting up at the counter with her, and she told me that she has 70....yes, 70 Heaven and Earth charts, and has yet to even start one!!! How crazy is that?! Crazy, yet also pretty cool, in a twisted kind of way. I wish I had 70 of them too! Imagine the possibilities! Oh who am I kidding, I can't even handle the one I have!

On a happy spring-y note, my tulips are starting to come up! I'm trying not to get too excited because it's supposed to be really, really cold for the next few days, and is supposed to snow a little. But it's still a tiny bit exciting. I planted lots of perennials last year so I'm very interested to see what will happen with those. Yay spring!
