I actually do still make stuff.

Yes, I really do still make things.
Big quilts even!

This beauty (if I may say so myself) was made for my sister in law, Erin. I had actually picked out the fruit fabrics (alexander henry) almost 2 years ago. I knew that I wanted to make a quilt with them and I knew that I wanted to make it for Erin...I just didn't know how.



Well, finally after two years of hoarding 1/2 a yard of each fabric, I broke down and started cutting. I had decided a simple 9 patch with one other fabric would be best.


But once each block was done I was concerned that the white sashing would just wash them out.
So I added a matching or contrasting boarder around each.



I think it turned out well.




And Erin thinks so too.
(which is all that really matters. )
