I have not blogged in over a month! Wow! In the past month, I have finished two quilts. One for my dad and one for a friend who was getting married.

The other quilt, I forgot to take a finished picture of. :(
Since I finished these two a few weeks ago, I haven't really done a lot. I have still been busy with the start of school, Open House, and just getting back in the swing of things.
This weekend, I decided to start something new. I bought the
Chopsticks pattern a while back as well as the fabric to make it. I chose to use Fresh Flowers by Deb Strain. My LQS also had some fabric that coordinated well with it from one of her earlier lines (the yellow).
I got confused at the cutting table and was missing a fabric. I chose another blue and not the red. I planned for the other blue fabric to be in the quilt, but after it was washed, it was a bit too short. I also realized that I didn't want two blue prints although I loved them both. I went back and got the red which I think will add a lot to the quilt. I will just try not to place the red and blue flowers side by side too often.
I just finished sewing up two of the blocks. Here is what they look like so far:
I love this quilt already! Only 22 more blocks to go. :)
