New start

Have you ever felt a bit out of sorts and then realized its already Monday or Tuesday and you haven't started a new quilt that week? So here is my cure for the "blues." I'm making Bonnie Hunter's Idaho Square Dance, the quilt featured on the cover of her book Addicted to Scraps. It's a wonderful combination of log cabin and four patch blocks.

In between sewing the log cabin blocks, I'm sewing "fabric debri" catchers. Those are the bits of feathers from making chickens. Or left over oddments that are too small for string quilts. In my house, they are the bits that the cats are constantly knocking from the cutting table to the floor. This means I can pretend I'm cleaning house too.

I knew something was ailing me! LOL I love a log cabin and four patches, just not sure I have enough blues, but perfect scrap project, thanks for the inspiration.

You're right! I haven't started a quilt yet this week either! No wonder I've got the blahs...

Ha! I started a new quilt today too! But it’s been planned for a couple months. I’m already loving you Idaho Sq Dance.

I thought I had the flu but now I know what's really wrong with me...I need to start something quilty! (Except I think I need a daily dose of New Start to beat the blahs). Plus I need to visit a few blogs to do some fabric gawking. Thanks for the pleasurable gawk.
