more on figuring it out


here's the second star. the part i'm the most excited about is that i've had this blue fabric for about 9 years and have never had the chance to make a boy quilt with it. when oliver was born dan and jenn were convinced he was a girl so i was hesitant to put such a commited boy fabric into his quilt. so now i finally have the chance to use it. you should see the way the little cars and trucks and helicopters smile back at you. you can't help but grin.

It already looks awesome! And complicated - I can't believe you've got another star done so quickly. I hope you'll keep showing your progress because I love seeing it evolve. I crave color, too, so now we have that in common in addition to numbers and pups and other stuff ;) You make me want to learn how to quilt. If you were still in DC I would totally take lessons from you. How neat would that be?
