Ok now what do I do
Ok now I have added another border on this quilt and it is so big that it fits both of my daughter's beds. Now here is the question, what do I do now? My oldest daughter wants her room painted light blue, that would go beautifully with this quilt, but I'm not sure I have time to make another quilt before Christmas. If I give the oldest one this quilt I will be obligated to make the younger one a quilt for her bed. If not there will be mutiny in the Drummond house. But I'm not sure if I can take that on with school and work in that time frame. What to do !!! By the way the border is a prettier blue than it looks on this photo. The saga continues .........

Today is September 20, 2012 and in two days I will be celebrating my 13th wedding aniversery. I hope we can do something special just the two of us, but we will see. I've been working a bit on my quilt and I finally got the strips of blocks all together. It is so awesome when you finally see your puzzle unfold. I went to the store and took the quilt to buy the borders for the quilt, this is not an easy task because there are sooo many colors in this quilt. This is the edging that goes around the whole quilt, it also helps to add size to your quilt. Well, once again I got carried away and now I will have to buy another bag of batting, it is the middle layer of a quilt, I bought twin batting and now need a queen batting. My quilts just tend to get bigger and bigger. Here are some photos of the progress I've made this week.

OK here I go this is my very first post on a blog. I am doing this for a class assignment, and if you know me at all, I can talk my head off but putting my thoughts in type is very difficult for me. My blog will be about crafts, animals or things that interest me. Above is a quilt I'm working on that a good friend shared with me. It is sort of a puzzle quilt, where you cut out specific sizes and piece together. The photo is of all kinds of squares and rectangles on the floor. I have a very busy life, so crafting is a way to give back to myself, so I can give to others. I am a wife, mother of two beautiful daughters, student, brand new nurse and foster Mom to 5 kittens right now. So my plate is full. Well I'll write later with little more on the progress of the quilt or just things that make me happy. Thanks for reading.
