Super Chameleon

Candy, Candy, Candy

    July 1st, 2009

    This months block was a fun one. Having open range with such beautiful fabric was a dream come true. The block size was new to me. I am used to five inch square blocks, lol. This felt like I was making a mini quilt. For this block I had something in my head that was a cross between a dresden plate and one of the Dear Jane blocks I recently did. I took out my graph paper and pencil then went to work. Most of the block was pieced together in the method Robin just posted about for her June block. The curved white pieces were not in the original design but when I got to that part there was too much going on and I needed to break it up and so in came some white. The hardest part for this months block was fitting a pattern to the amount of fabric I had. Not total fabric but the individual pieces. For instance the big corner pieces I could not have cut out of the smaller prints if I had wanted to. While talking about the fabric, it was such a good idea to send everyone different fabric. I first saw Nichole’s block before I received my fabric and was planning a block based on those fabrics, only to open my envelope and see different prints. I am not complaining for I LOVE the fabric I got. Anyhoo, this was fun and I am excited about next month, my month. Here is a sneak peek of the fabric for August.

Sneak Peak

Spooning Sponges

    June 29th, 2009

    school

    I took a cheap sponge and cut it up into pieces and added it and some water to a bowl. I then gave him an empty bowl and a spoon so he could spoon the sponges into the bowl. He loves this one so much he even asks to do it at random moments through out the day.

Bead Sorting

    June 28th, 2009

    school

    He picked some beads out at the store the other day and I decided it would be fun for him to sort them. Lawl, he does not understand the concept of sorting yet. So he just played with them.

Toothpick activity

    June 27th, 2009

    school

    I took a spice container and some toothpicks and put it on a tray for him. The object is to put the tooth pics in the hole. He does really well with this one. Also, he enjoys it. He will take the toothpicks back out and do it over and over again.

Finally

    Oh my, I am so happy this is done! I actually made two. Yes you heard right. I had two friends that were prego with boys, so I made two of these at the same time. That is why it took so long! I absolutely love how it turned out. I kept second guessing myself the whole time. But what really made the quilt was when I put the binding on. It tied it all together. So for my first design I think it turned out pretty well :)
