Cutting...

I did something scary (when it comes to my quilting world, that is)... I cut into two of my biggest and most expensive stacks of fabric!  Gah!  I hope I didn't mess up... Cutting fabric can be a little scary.  I measured and double checked LOTS of times.

This set is going to by for my in-laws someday (Shhh... don't tell them!) It went from this:

To this:

That's a lot of fabric!  Enough for a King size quilt!

And, of course, I did make one little mistake... I was cutting a group of "D" strips, and I made them too short!  I was so mad, because I was almost finished and didn't have a lot of big pieces left to cut new ones from.  SO I ended up piecing an extra half-inch or so into several of the mess-ups.  Hopefully it's not too obvious.  

I was all set to get started on this quilt, when my sister announced that she is ENGAGED!!!  She is getting married in December and I am beyond excited for her.  I promptly put the Fandango fabric away, got out another set of fabric, and proceeded to hack it up as well.  I hope she likes the colors. 

I went from this (well, actually - this is only half of it - I had to go and buy three more yards to make this one a King size too):

To this!

I'm so excited to be working on a new quilt!  My twin rainbow quilts are almost finished, too.  I'm just waiting for Hubby to actually get off work early enough for us to watch a movie together so I can finish binding the last one!

I started a list of all the projects I want to do.  Just to keep myself on track... maybe I need to add "new ironing board cover" to that list?  Or maybe I should focus on a few important baby items...  The list is over in my sidebar at the very bottom.  Hopefully having it on the blog will keep me motivated!

Oh, and remember this?

And remember how I had my fabric all picked out and ready to go?  Well, sadly, I made the decision that I needed to put it away and save it for another time.  I'm still planning to make the blocks, though.  My doctor seems to think that I will need to quit working at least a month before the babies come.  Maybe I will have a little time for some hand sewing then.  In the meantime, I'm just following along, enjoying what everyone else is creating!
