new sewing project - the marin quilt

Over the last few months I've been doing a lot of wistful thinking about the old days when I had more time to do sewing projects and little tutorials for the blog. That sure was fun. Right before I went home for Christmas, I got all inspired by a quilting post on Posie Gets Cozy and decided to start a quilt for my mom using some of her favorite Marin prints. Of course, when I started it, I actually thought I might finish it in time for Christmas, but that was just silly. I forget how much slower quilting goes when you have a toddler. So here it is, early January, and one of my New Years resolutions is to finish it before March. Here's a photo of some of the first blocks, and I'll post more photos as I make progress. Once I'm done, I'll post the full project and pattern. Wish me luck!

  1. Ooh Good Luck! Sometimes sewing can feel like you're doing it in slow mo' with children around. Can't wait to see the end result. I've been on a Blogging Break so it's lovely to drop by again.
