Band Aids and Future Projects....

Now that we have a back yard, we are going through some serious amounts of band aids. Aubrey is a little on the clumsy side and that mixed with concrete in the back yard = trouble
She was so excited when I brought home these! Pretty sure the first day she got "hurt" about 5 times....verrrry convenient ;)
But who cares because look at her cute little bandaged up feet!
Ok moving on, I am so pumped for this project I have on deck! Now, you would've never have guessed that I was judging by the fact that this fabric has been sitting on my sewing desk for the last two weeks....but I am! Really! I just, you know, MOVED this last month and this was not my first priority. I figured that I'd get Aubrey's room out of boxes before I start a willy nilly(yes, willy nilly) project. At least, that's what I tell my procrastinating self.
Ahhhh Sugar Pop by Liz Scott! In a delicious charm pack and layer cake! Oh yeah, these babies are going to become a quilt. Not just any quilt, my FIRST quilt!
Yay me! I got the idea from Amy, she had a quilt made from a Moda charm pack and layer cake in her living room and she kept talking about how easy it was to make and that it was the first one she ever made(is that right Amy? Am I remembering that correctly?!). So I thought, hey, that sounds like the perfect first quilt for me! So, here it is...ready for me to get my butt in gear and start! Wish me luck....

I feel like Mom when I say this, but I have been wanting to make a quilt FOR YEARS!! That fabric is beautiful. Because my talent doesn't reach as far as yours, I am going to go on a quilt-making course and make one. I could probably figure it out on my own, but it's a chance to escape the chaos ;) Keep me posted on how it goes!! x
