It has taken me quite awhile to decide what to do with this fabric. I loved the fabric, but couldn't commit to a pattern. I finally took it to work and consulted a woman there who quilts. She suggested the pattern that I am going to do - it is a total of 25 squares, except they are squares within squares. Just trust me on this one. At any rate, the 9 squares inside the quilt will have brownish borders and the 16 squares on the outside will have blue borders. All of these will have another, differently patterned square within it. I cut all the interior squares but the blue borders are not done - I have to go to Bayside to pick up some more material. Luckily, I am not being a complete perfectionist on the blue squares and I will accept different patterns as long as they are a similar shade of blue.
In other news, the Packers play today and I am not ready to be hurt by them like I was last week.
The piecing is complete on the Arts and Crafts Squares quilt. I finished it and laid it out on the couch to admire and Scout immediately jumped on it to give herself a bath. I also think that this has something to do with the fact that I just ironed the section she is sitting on and it is quite warm. She is a little heat seeking missile. I still haven't picked up the backing or the batting yet, but maybe I'll be able to quilt it this weekend. Session schedules make it hard to plan for the weekend and I realized today that I haven't had a hair cut since December. The haircut might be my activity of choice this weekend.
