Cobblestones

I wrote about the beginning of this quilt here back in March, and here's the finished product:Don't look TOO closely, because I never thought about matching up the lines of the blocks when I was putting them together, (I realized that when I was trying to quilt straight diagonal lines!) and the whole thing is a little bit bias-y... but I do really like the colors and the block itself.

The weather is crisp and clear today, although I think more rain is in the forecast. I'm off for a trip to the farmers' market before an afternoon of sewing with friends.

I really like that quilt! I'm starting to itch to sew again. Maybe once I get my life back (after the WCWS in June), I'll start sewing more. It would be neat to spend the summer sewing, at least until I become employed again!
