Crafty days off



There is the finished product of the cute baby's blanket. I guess all my machine needed was a break because when i went back to try to fix it it was working just fine again. So i finished quilting and binding this quilt. I love how it turned out.






Today I decided that I would attempt an new block, the Dresden plate. I was inspired from a picture on my friend sukie's blog and i figured I'd try it out. I looked up a little tutorial online and watched this YouTube tutorial and then got to work this morning. I don't have much of a fabric stash yet so i just used some scraps from my other recent projects.* I like how they turned out. I'm not sure what I'll do with them yet. I'm toying with the idea of learning some other blocks and making a sampler quilt or making some throw pillow covers. We'll see. For now I'm just enjoying the thrill of learning something new and making something pretty.



*My stash will soon be expanding; David ordered some fabric for me for our anniversary so i just have to wait another month until our anniversary and I'm in business. Yay!
