First mentioned here. I took all the leftover pixels from these quilts (and a couple more that aren’t in the stacks) and sewed them together following a rough sketch. It measures 72″ square and is all Robert Kaufman Kona. Large majority of the pieces are 1″ x 1″. Largest pieces are 1″ x 6″ and 2″ x 2″.

This is for our house and won’t be turned into a pattern. It’s very similar to the original Mrs. Roy G. Biv pattern if you want to make one and need some guidance. And someone asked about a pattern for The Technicolor Yawn Bedroom. No pattern for that one but Volume in Scrap Republic is very, very similar.

I’ll take some closeups once the quilting is done…

I’ve been working on a new quilt for our bed. I finished up the piecing today and dragged Sean out for a couple pictures.

He’s afraid it’s so bright that he’ll never sleep ever again.

The back ended up pretty cool too.

I’ve got to piece some shams, iron it all and then it’s off to Angela!

Fabrics? Robert Kaufman’s Konas of course (I think I referred to this as Kona-O-Rama on Twitter a couple times). Just a couple leftovers from the 279 cuts of fabric that came in for these projects.

Now that the quilt top is almost done, I really, really have the itch to paint our room. I would describe the color as, umm, not my style. It’s just a bad, bad dream. No wall should ever be that color. I got two postcards from Sherwin-Williams this week. It’s a sign.

Sew!

A lot!

And quick!

Morning walks on the beach. We never get very far but we always have fun.

IKEAs that aren’t 150 miles away and have the cutest little carts (with parent handles!!). Hope Sean likes the bathmat in there. Um, dear? I bought a bathmat. Hope you like it! And little boys obsessed with maps and trying to figure out if we’re going in the right direction.

And quilts. Of course.

This is what I’ve been working on since Thanksgiving.

144 different cuts of fabric that were ironed and cut into 12,653 pieces of fabric that were pieced into 11 quilt tops.

Now that the house prep is done and we’re just sitting around (ha! yeah right), I’ve gotten back into the sewing groove. Phew. It feels good.

Next week? Binding. My hands hurt just thinking about it.

(Holy grainy photo Batman! That’s the new iPhone. I thought the camera was going to be better?)
