I have a couple projects that I have put on the back burner because, well, I get too excited about new fabric and it's hard to keep the momentum going. I started this one {gulp} about three years ago and Nick has been quite patiently asking/requesting/begging that I get it out to finish. I wasn't thinking when I looked at the pattern and my fabric, because directional fabric can be tricky. It ended up a nightmare for a couple of the rows, but once the kids were in bed and not in my lap it only took a couple hours. It just needs a border now!
I started this one not too long ago- maybe a month? I fell in love with the fabric and made Mom order it for the shop so I got the job of sewing up a sample using it. I just love the lizards and snails! A print with frogs came in the same line, but I'll use those for something else. It is kinda fun to do something with 'boy' prints! I think it's too long, though. I am really thinking about taking the seam ripper to the bottom row- it just kinds seems uneven. It really does feel good to get some quilt tops finished - now I just need to work on machine quilting!
