Progress....

Remember this photo?


Well, those little half squares have now turned into this:



I believe I mentioned that the fabric came from Moda scrap bags.  Two scrap bags, to be exact.  It was not a pattern, but a make-it-up-as-you-go-along kind of situation.  I tried to be as random as possible in the piecing of the squares and sewing of the strips.  I threw all of the half-squares into a shopping bag and pulled them out one at a time and just did them in the order they came out of the bag.  There were two different "blocks" that just happened because when I was sewing and making the half-squares, I didn't do it the same every time.  Live and learn.

Now, I just need to make my sandwich of backing and batting and quilt it (which I have NEVER done before)...and get it bound by the time I go to bed on Thursday night.  I'm leaving to go out of town on Friday to see my family, and this is a birthday gift for my niece (her party is on Sat. night).  So Sew, it must get done.

It really looks intentional I love the pattern. Pretty colors she will love it.

Ohh la la, looking good! I love when I finish a quilt top... there's such a sense of satisfaction in seeing the pieces all together. (Then again, I almost never do any quilting these days, but I still remember the joy of it!)
