shoo fly

So, I started a new quilt yesterday. My plan was to keep working on my Don't be Crabby! baby quilt. And then, before I knew it, the stack of gorgeously colorful fabric "appeared" in front of me and I started cutting and sewing like there was no tomorrow.


I decided to make a shoo fly quilt. I had to do my own math because in my haste I did not have time to look for instructions on how to make a 12.5" shoo fly block - I'm really glad it worked out. I love how big and chunky these blocks look.

I'm really looking forward to working on this quilt tonight. And, while I do, I will try very hard not to be reminded of all the other projects this quilt managed to push to the back burner, especially my Don't be Crabby! baby quilt.


Only a few more circles need to be finished and I'll be ready for the next step - I'll share more on this project later.


Oh, before I go I wanted to share these simple, yet wonderfully graphic blocks I made for Trust circle of do.Good Stitches. These blocks were designed by sew happy geek. Aren't they wonderful?

Happy stitching, everyone!
