No,I didn't fall off the earth,just blog land! Sorry for the lack of posting lately but,in order to stay focused and stay productive it was necessary.
So,what has been keeping me busy…
quilt # 7 for this year! This is my buzz saw quilt from The book Fabulously Fast Quilts by Amy Smart. This is my second quilt from this book,although this one was not as fast as the butterfly effect quilt,it was still fairly fast to sew up.
For the back of this quilt I decided to pull out a few of the gothic windows blocks from w a y back in April 2012(my month in stash bee that year). It felt great to be including these in a project finally! You can see the quilt made from most of the blocks.
No photos outside today as it is a slushy/snowy mess,with more on the way. I did not want to risk dragging or dropping this beauty in the slush.
Finished this quilt measures at 67 x 82,a little larger than the one in the book. Simply because my borders are just a bit larger than the pattern called for. Although there are more quilts in the book that I like,next month it is time to move on and sew from some other books/magazines in my sewing library.
Linking up with Weekend Doings this month for Sew the Library
*** Just a little note to my regular followers,you may or may not have noticed that my header is quite a bit different! In the near future I will be changing my blog name and url. The current header is temporary until I find someone to make me a professional one. If you know anyone let me know! More on this in a later post ***

Sew the Library (twofer)
Have you heard,or are you participating in Sew the Library? It is a monthly link up hosted by Fabric Mutt and I think a few other bloggers will be hosting throughout the year too. This is not one of my usual link up party's,but this is a New year and time for New things...
So I am participating. For this month (the first link up) my project is a quilt,from the book Fabulously Fast Quilts. This book was a Christmas gift from a very special friend. Jamie and I decided to have our own little sew along this month. The pattern we chose this month is butterfly effect.
The prints in the quilt came from a Color Me Happy jelly roll,the solid is Kona Nightfall,which is actually a darker blue. The binding strips are two grey prints from the jelly roll mixed with a green with white polka dot Dear Stella print. The name of the book holds true,as this was pretty fast to sew up,and turned out fabulously!
You are probably thinking this is a crazy back side for a quilt called butterfly effect right? well,having my own "style"is one of the things that makes my quilts unique,and this one is no exception. As you know I love things that are reversible…
Finish #5 for January!
