    Progress

    Jun 13, 2009

    IMG_9354 Progress on my 9 patch quilt along blocks.  Its not going so fast, I think its the fact that there is a deadline, if you’d even call it that.  When I have to work on something, I don’t.  Like cleaning the oven or organizing my food storage, I’m trying to convince myself it will be really fun.  Anyways, I have 29 of these done, and realized most of them have yellow in them.  I’m going with a red, yellow, green and blue color scheme.  Most are retro-ish prints, since that was the initial idea. IMG_9366 And……you know my complaining and whining that there are NO good quilts shops close to me?  (as my husband and Mom nod in unison) Well, I’m totally embarrassed to say that I found a totally adorable shop 8 dang miles from me!  I’ve lived here a year and now I’m kicking myself.   As my husband said at least I saved A LOT of money not knowing it was there.  I bought that bright green fabric because it kind of looks like chicken feet.  Kind of.  Speaking of chicken feet did you know in Mexico they eat chicken feet, especially in soup.  Time for lunch!

      I think that print is chicken feet - if it's Tula Pink's Nest line...

      I like your blocks, they make me happy!

      "As my husband said at least I saved A LOT of money not knowing it was there"
      LOL!! Soooooooo true! :)
      Your blocks look great. I can't work under deadlines either. I stopped taking custom quilt orders because I just can't work under that kind of pressure. That probably sounds silly but it's true! :)

      They eat chicken feet in china too. Who knew?
      Your 9-patches are looking fab.
      Looking forward to seeing what comes out of your new 'local' fabric shop.

      I love your blocks--u can never have too much red! BTW, my mother-in-law used to make chicken foot soup. It was so gross! The little chicken feet get all plumped and puckered up and she used to love to eat those little foot pads. Ugh! Just the memory of it grosses me out! I won't even tell you about the cabeza (goat's head) they used to eat! The kids used to play cops and robbers with the jab bone "guns" they'd make after eating!!!!

      so pretty--love the colors and your new shop find. I need to decide about my backing. . . would love to find a sheet that would work, but know I can piece up something, too.

      My husband agrees with yours, I discovered quilting & a 6 mile away quilt shop this summer. I love your 9 squares-lovely choice of fabrics, I'm just about to embark on my first bigger quilt !(I bought a cutting mat & rotary cutter this week-WOW!)
