Quilt!

I had to use up a bunch of vouchers at Calico & Ivy (um, yeah, my old boss and my friends are the coolest) and I actually didn't want more yarn (I'm trying to cut down on the stash) or fabric (ditto). I looooved this quilt. It's all the Katie Jump Rope series, by Denyse Schmidt. One giant log cabin design, with panels of irregulat widths, plus some odds and sods of random quilting on the back (most of it is the brown floral, though). I ummed and ahhed over the price, thinking "but I could buy the fabric for a third of the price and make it myself!" Then I remembered that I can't quilt, don't have the time for it, and don't have the inclination for it.

Bought quilt it was. I heart it. It's an excellent curled-up-on-the-couch-watching-so-you-think-you-can-dance quilt.

Quilting, hey?

There's a special on a fat quarter bundle at Hancock's of Paducah that brings the Moda American Jane prints down to about $6.50 a metre (plus postage). Why is that so terribly tempting? What would I do with 30 fat quarters? And why does 'make a quilt!' seem like a reasonably answer to that question? Maybe because I've been suckered in by American Jane's distressingly fab quilt patterns. Old fashioned, but not too kitschy.

(I'm feeling much better now. Trying desperately to catch up on uni work. I've never had a full week off uni (or highschool, for that matter) for illness in my life).
