Look what I finished today!
Oh my gosh! Isn't it adorable?!
I used an orphan quilt square for the backing.
I also put a ribbon loop on top so I can hang it where ever I want.

What else did I do today?
I cut up some fabric for a quilt.
This will be a year-long project. I'm signed up for the fat quarter solids club through Fat quarter shop, and I'm going to make a block a month.
I had a hard time understanding the cutting instructions at first. It's been ages since I cut pieces for a quilt.
I stared at it a few minutes and then it clicked. A ha!
I cut up the fabric I picked up for the background, sashing, border, etc.
And discovered I'm short on fabric. I don't know if told the person the wrong amount to cut, or if I got shorted. The person didn't seem to know what they were doing, so ... Yeah ... So I'll have to get a bit more fabric for the borders.

That is so cute! Sometimes I think about taking up quilting, but I've got so much going on already. I wish we still lived in the days when we had good old fashioned quilting bees. I'll bet they were so much fun!
A quilting bee would be fun!
I'm so happy with how the pillow turned out. I've got it on my window sill right now. It's adorable. :-)
