As I have mentioned in a previous post I have been bitten by the sewing bug. Hard. I have actually sewn everyday since I received my sewing machine. :) I don't know why, but quilting has caught my fancy. So I started researching quilting and talking to my mom (an amazing sewer) about it. Apparently I come from a very long, prestigious line of quilters on both sides of my family. So, I started a quilt. I began the quilt with these block patterns in mind, a couple of charm packs in Papillion by Moda, and a little bit of yardage in complimentary brown. I really do love it, unfortunately my cutting skills have not proven up to the task to all of these points :( My Scrappy Four Patches are pretty, but far from perfect. So, instead of doing a Four Patch with and X block. I think I am going to change my game plan to a Scrappy Four Patch with sashing and a border, which means this will probably go on the back burner until I get a hold of some sashing fabric. But, I do have another quilting in progress that I will be sharing with you very soon. Until then...
