Purple... Lavender... Lilac...

Here is that quilt with the "biggest blocks" Sarah's dad has ever seen! She made a green one for her dad and I made this purple one for mine. I don't think that you could really call the components of this quilt "blocks." They're just way past that! I figured that if I tried to do some interesting quilting on it, that might make up for the rather dull piecing. hmmm. Well, it improves it, anyway. (The pattern was from the book, Quilts for the Dorm Room. And it took us about an hour to piece. I have a friend who borrowed the book and made three of them for the bridesmaids in her son's wedding in August. See? There are times when you need a really fast quilt.) I love the batiks in this purple quilt and my Dad seemed to like it. He isn't your average guy.

I have decided to put the new projects on the back burner. Every time I try to work on something, the results are just... well, yucky. I even "unsewed" some the other day. I "unsewed" a lot. Now, if you know me, you can be sure that unsewing is something I rarely ever do. So I'm pretty sure I must be losing my mind. But really, it wasn't so bad. The unsewing or the losing of my mind. Think I'll just tinker away on a few established projects and stay away from the rotary cutter that seems to be unable to cut a straight line these days. And away from my mind that seems to be unable to put 2 colors together that don't make me nauseous!
