my cameras are pretty much full which makes uploading a pain. i've got four strips sewn together. i can see this being a one day project, if that day does not include small children. ;) sorry that the photo is not the greatest, but i hope it shows the beauty of this quilt.
my strips are not lining up 100%. that is user error, not the design! i think lining up is one of the most difficult things in quilting, especially in strip quilting. but, even though it is not perfect, i'm not going to redo it. i think that the amish don't make perfect things (quilts?), even purposely skewing a block or making it upside down. i think the philosophy is that only god is perfect. that is not my philosophy, but i do like the idea, to me it is not always possible to be perfect and that it's ok to make mistakes. especially if those mistakes don't destroy the final product. most of my projects (ok, all) have mistakes, which probably makes me mediocre, but i'm ok with that.
tomorrow is the kindy's graduation, so hiro has the day off. i just realized this morning that i am going to have to cook breakky, lunch and dinner. (didn't i do this last year, too? last summer maybe?) which may sound strange, yes i do cook every day but it's different for two instead of three. but, if i think about it, soon i'll only have tommy at home which will be so different! anyway, hiro will have a half day on thursday and then SPRING BREAK!! um, yay? yeaaaaah, i dunno how i'm going to handle it either! LOL
take care of you and all of yours, i am thinking of you tonight.

I wish I had talent like yours!! I can barely sew a straight line...
that looks like its coming along gorgeous!! wow!
sounds like you are going to have a busy spring break. gosh can't believe both sasha and hiro will be in kindy from the spring are they going to be in the same one?
Go Go Go! I love seeing it evolve!
i LOVE it! those fabrics are beautiful together!
i love the design too - it's on my list of quilts to make. which, happens to be a very long list. maybe some day. until then, i'll enjoy pictures of yours. :)
I so want to be crafty like you. I would especially like to make a quilt for a friend who is having a baby in the fall. Any suggestions or ideas on sites/ books for beginners? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
