Phew! That was a week I am happy to leave behind. Sometimes life bites you in the arse, eh? Anyways. Enough about that. Let's talk quilting!
Since I gave you a knitting project update the other day, I thought I would also give you a peek at some of my quilting WIPs (happy, Alison?). I appear to be suffering from a bit of quilting attention deficit disorder these days, with several projects on the go and lots of hacking and slashing going on.
First up- I cut up this pile that I had shown you earlier....
And put it back together like this:
I used this pattern from Four Wise Monkeys on Sew Mama Sew, which of course seemed a perfect use for my Children at Play fabric. I've decided not to stop here, though- I plan to do some calculations to add some borders to convert this from a lap quilt to a double bed size. Back to that later!
Also- am feeling a little Christmas-y....
And have also used my Go! Baby to make use of my Bonnie and Camille Ruby layer cake. I may have utilized a bit of slave labour for that one ;)
Off I go to stitch these back together again!

Excellent - glad to see normal service has been resumed. I was getting worried at one point and was thinking of hitting the 'unsubscribe to this blog that is not longer talking quilty stuff' button.
happy to see you saying goodbye too stress! i have to make a point of doing that quite often too.
I really like your quilt top. the design is great and the fabrics, i love them! :)
Nice to see you make your kids earn their keep and thank goodness you broke out the fabric. I really was starting to wonder whether the yarn gremlins had spirited the real Kristie away.
Hope next week is a better one. meantime - Margaritas!

Sayonara, stress! I'm loving your Children At Play quilt so far! And I'm thinking Christmas too...I'm sending Christmas fabric to my bee next month.
I loved the "poster" at the top of the page! I chuckled and WM raised his eyebrows (he's putting a new cover on the ironing board).
Glad your bad week is behind you and quilting is bringing you pleasure!
