Quilt in a Day (almost)

I haven't been super motivated since returning from all them vacations. You'd think I would be inspired...like an absence-makes-the-heart-grow-fonder type of thing, but no.

Anyhow, I think the lull is over - I got inspired by this magazine ad:


Crafted a really sophisticated pattern/instruction set and gathered some fabric I purchased for a different project:

Laid her out...

Sewed her up...

And I trekked to PeaPod and got me some yummy cotton/bamboo fabric for the back (I'll show you the finished product later). I'm still hemming and hawing (I don't think I've ever spelled that out before...) over the binding.

I'm going for the "chic city baby" look here - how'm I doing?

p.s. Super easy pattern - no corners to match!! Love that! Truthfully, I like obsessing about precision a little bit, but rarely achieve perfection, so this was good for me.
