Over the weekend I added more small blocks on the left side of the rows and began to add the horizontal sashing. I was moving very slowly this weekend. I'm ready to finish this and get back to Cupola Views.

Toddler tote
Made this little tote for my grand nephew second birthday. I made it washable and reversible. Apparently he is fond of hamburgers.
ETA: the little fella liked the fabric. My niece was excited and exclaimed "his first Auntie kern totebag!" So I guess it was a hit.

Ripping out
So I was minding my own business stitching the gingham border on Vintage Housewife when I realized something was off. If you look at that half finished block on the bottom I realized that there was supposed to be another row of two blocks to match the giant red block next to it. I need some time to focus, count, and eventually rip out the stitches.

Lab pillowcase
I made this pillowcase a while ago for my nephew. He didn't seem thrilled with it even though he is crazy about labs. Recently he asked me to make a second one because he has a double bed. I said I thought you didn't like it. He said, well I thought it would scratchy but I washed it and it is really soft. So could you make me a second one?
Well. Do I have enough fabric for a second one? Nope. Am I going to find some fabric and make a second one? Yep.

Paint pots
Well I have no idea why but when I got home yesterday I pulled out my isosceles triangle die and got to cutting out my "A Christmas Story" yardage.
I had to finagle my die because I wanted the fabric to be in the correct orientation!
Now I have to decide what colors I will use with the focus fabrics. I went through them and then had my son and DH vote on them as well. I plan to cut some samples tonight so I can finish the cutting for this quilt. It will go into the waiting box after it's all cut.
I think I'm going to cut out my Mary Poppins fabric too. That way it will be ready to go whenever I have spare time.
I think it's crazy I'm cutting this fabric out because I have two big quilts on the go right now!
