....Been workin' on some thangs!!

In the last couple of months, I have been bitten by the Quilting Bug!  Here some pics....

This one, I just finished last night.  I must admit my OCD is very happy with the precision required to pull one of these off.  The whole notion of cutting up pieces to assemble them in a different way and have the entire piece make sense is 'satisfying'.  My sons were so pleased with my 'sample' that 3 of them requested ones for their beds.   And, the other, requested I show him how to do this.  A major observation to note.....ORIENTATION of the pieces is key.  If the directions recommended cutting on the diamond instead of the 'visual' straight.....do so.  Cutting my feature characters on the diamond or diagonal would have resulted in a vertical orientation in the finished piece. 
So, if anyone asks......I meant to do this!!  LOL!!



I am soooooo tickled with the design of this quilt.  It is what drew me into the 'Quilting Zone'.  Modern quilt designs and fabric options available to us today are so beautiful. I had just as much fun making the selections as I did piecing the blocks!  Thanks Suzy's Premium Pattern @CRAFTSY for the inspiration and instructions for this one!!
