A Gray/Grey Day

Really, I prefer to spell grey with an "e", but I think that gray is also accurate....  Anyway, we've been having lots of rain here lately.  Mostly it comes in the form of a thunderstorm in the wee hours of the morning.  I think that we've gotten a total of something like 7 inches of rain in the last week. 

Mostly, I've been staying inside....which I probably certainly would have been doing anyway.  I have about two weeks and then it is back to school....so I've been doing as little as possible outside of the house. 

I've slowly been working on this quilt top for about the last week, I think...a little bit here and there. This is what I finished with:





It's not the best photo in the world (I know I say that a lot....probably because I really wish I were a better photographer...), especially taken inside at night...  You can get the idea though.  I didn't measure it so I'm not exactly sure what the size is.  I'd call it lap/throw size, I suppose. 

I have no plans for this quilt, yet.  I didn't make it with anyone in mind...just bought the fabric because I really liked it and the quilt shop was having a bit of a sale.  I may just keep it for us to use even though definitely does not match any of my living room "decor".  I can't wait until it is completely finished.  I just have to decide how I'm going to quilt it.

Yellow is my favorite color and with the grays - that is outstanding Sally. I love it.

I have been trying to put together a t-shirt quilt for my daughter but she won't give up any shirts. lol - so I have to come up with another idea. Hopefully my hands will hold out. :)

You should keep it! Mix up your living room a bit, make it fit!
