Getting back to normal

Now that the New Year is upon us, it is time for me to get back to normal.  Today was the first day back to work.  Last year was a hard and hectic year of ups, downs, turns, and twists.  I am looking forward to a quiet and peaceful 2012.  Let's keep our fingers crossed.

I have been working on a few projects in the last few weeks, but have not posted any of the pictures. I need to get them up.  I also have the FQSQA blocks to post.  I remain one block behind, but I do not care for the block so I think I will do an alternate.  It is cute enough, but I do not like using templates :(  I am not sure if I will just suck it up in the end and do the templates.  That is still up in the air.
Quilt Back


This Christmas I only made one quilt.  Last year I made 11 and that about drove me over the edge.  Though I follow the Pittsburgh Steelers, I took a deep breath and made a Miami Dolphins quilt.  It really did turn out nice in the end.  I planned on a lap sized quilt, but ended up with a queen.  How does that happen???

I pieced the back with the left over fabric since I know I will probably not make another Dolphins quilt....well maybe.  Who knows.
