There are so many things I should have been doing today...boring things like mopping floors and doing laundry...but I chose to play with my Some Kind of Wonderful quilt instead :)
I didn't plan for it to take all day, but cutting little 1 1/2 inch squares of each and every fabric took some time (what a shame!)
And there was a little embroidery to finish off too. I decided to go with blanket stitch for this quilt for a couple of reasons...I love the texture, I love matching thread colours, and I can do it neatly (unlike needleturn, which I am not so good at!)
I've thrown some blue fabric in there, because I really want my blue jean block (coming up next) to have blue jeans :)
Just a couple more blocks to go, and I've done the first row...which is due to be finished by the end of December. Love that feeling of being up-to-date...at least with one of my projects, anyway :)
The funny thing about housework...it will still be there tomorrow :)

Looks wonderful Susan. Ha did you get that "wonderful" as in SKoW...small minds
This is a very fun and pretty project! Another of my blog friends posted about making this also.
Just lovely...I am almost tempted to join in after seeing how pretty yours looks!
Your blocks look lovely. I love the addition of the blue.
Beautiful stitching!
Pretty fabrics, aren't they? Do you use any sort of stabilizer behind the stitching or is it just the main fabric?
Oh my goodness-- soooo cute!!! I'm having a fit over that "cup of tea" image. It's so darling!! This may just be my favorite quilt of yours... until the next one, of course. Hee hee.
Hugs,
Jill
