What I'm working on...

As some of you know, darling hubby has been traveling for work which leaves me to my craft room whenever I have a spare moment.  And during the Olympics, Since I don't have a TV in my craftroom, I bring some things downstairs to work on...I'll post those pics later...

Anyho, I've been working on the Minnesota fabric quilt; and as I mentioned before...what was I thinking when I decided it would be acceptable to cut 1 1/2 inch square! YIKES! But I've been cutting a little here and a little there...and this is what I have:

At first, I thought I had cut enough...and enough I mean, 150 or so...but then I looked at the pattern...um, nope...I need 300 or so...and so the cutting continues...

My next project...the first Minnesota Quilt fabric

I was snooping around my quilt room last night and this morning trying to find my next project...at first I thought I would start something completely new...then after digging into the projects I didn't have this fabric or I didn't have that fabric.  So I decided to go back to the drawing board, I went to the tub of UFO projects.  I found this bundle; most of the fabric is from the first year (2008) of the Quilt Minnesota.

However, as I read the directions, I figured I would make the lap size quilt instead of the table topper.  As a result, I needed more fabric to work with and because I like scrappy quilts.  So I spent some of the day digging in my scrappy tubs...yes, that's what I said, scrappy tubs!  Here's what I've added to the collection:

I've already started fussy cutting the fabric images; so tomorrow I'm ready to start the 1 1/2 inch blocks...YIKES!  I don't have enough of the fabric images, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do as a replacement...I doubt any quilt stores still have this fabric collection...I thought about fussy cutting the fish fabric...you can see the blue and black fish fabric in the above picture. I'll figure it out later...I have plenty of time, since there's a large number of 1 1/2 inch squares to cut...oh well!

Until next time...
