How Delightful!

So I gave myself a couple weeks off.  I slept in.  I read a lot.  I did sneak in a little pattern designing here and there.  We spent a lot of time as a family just hanging out and playing.  We celebrated Christmas and New Years and did so with all of our fun family traditions (except making gingerbread houses.  That one just did not happen this year.)  It has been delightful!  And now it’s time to get back to reality, right? 

Everyone heads back to school and work on Monday and we adopt some sort of schedule once again.  Confession time: I’m looking forward to it. 

colorful fabric stack

In the past couple of weeks I’ve started a just-for-me project and I’m really excited about it.  I’ve been working on it slowly here and there.  It started with pulling this stack of fabrics from my stash.  That’s 49 different prints to be exact.  I was a little lacking on the red blenders but a quick trip to my local quilt shop fixed that.

I’m pairing these rainbow prints with some low volume prints – each colored rectangle gets one little low vol square in each corner.  I love the bright colors/low volume combo!

Alright I’m off to enjoy the last couple of days of our vacation (and fold laundry).  Someone has to do it, right?

  1. I absolutely love the bright combined with low volume and cannot wait to see your completed project. I'm hoping to make a quilt with similar colors this year as well - or it's on my list of quilts I want to make. I'm just not sure my list is reasonable - I want to make so many. :) Just found your blog the other day (the Twinkle Toes quilt on pinterest drew me in!) but I am enjoying it thoroughly and look forward to following you.

    1. Haha Bethany my "quilts I want to make" list is far from reasonable :) I'm glad you found my blog- thanks for stopping by!

  5. Hmmm...those blocks look a little familiar. Could they be what I think they might be? Either way, I love your fabric choices. Happy quilting!
