OK I have officially finished cutting all the little pieces of my next quilt! I haven't done many but this is the first one that I would consider having lots of little pieces. There is a reason for me being so excited. When I spent a month at Camilles house... (Not a whole month, but we were there a lot.) I would watch her neatly stack her little squares and triangles for whatever quilt she happened to be working on at the time, and I loved them. Those tiny neat little piles had my whole heart! Well I officially have little stacks of my own and they have stolen my heart completely. Do I sound ridiculous? I think I might, but at least I have something to blame. Fruit Soup. Need I say more? I think it has been toxic to my brain, but in a good way... Considering the bowls upon bowls I have eaten today, I think I can safely say I am drunk on it! Which would explain my raving about little neat piles of fabric. Anyway I am off to possibly start sewing them together, or possibly have more fruit soup, or maybe I should play with Jonas, he has been slightly neglected today with all the cutting and stacking that has been going on.
Oh and P.S. as you can see I am doing a Thimble Blossoms, Peppermint Posies Quilt, but I really don't want to do peppermints, they seem so Christmassy to me and unfortunately the fabric I am using is so not Christmassy. Anyway I guess I am just out of ideas for some cute applique. If anyone has a thought I sure would appreciate it!
For everyone who checks up on us to see the little guy, here is a recent video of his awesome dance moves! I think he gets them from his Dad, obviously. Oh and please excuse the shaky camera, I could not hold still because of the laughing.
Also here is a shot of one of his favorite things to do. I'm not sure why, but he loves to sit under a blanket, he especially likes it when someone is under there with him but he does just fine on his own too. Weird kid!

Can't wait to see the finished product! Love the dancing. I guess I should capture Emmy doing her Elvis dance asap. Oh and cute new template. I had to go and get my own.
Ethan loved watching Jonas dance. He was watching and smiled and said "whoa". Then he started crying when I went to type the comments! Wanted to watch more of Jonas shakin his stuff. Can't wait to see how the quilt turns out.
Love the new blog paper - too cute! Oh how I miss that little guy! You guys are too far away! Love the dance moves and yes I do think he may get them from his Dad. Have fun with the quilt - can't wait to see it done!
hahaha! Oh man. As much as I love Jonas's wicked dance moves, I think I like yours and Matt's stifled giggling in the background even better. Seriously, that kid cracks me up. I loooved the blanket picture. hehe
I can't wait to see what you do with your little squares, and I can't wait to see you again. Come play with us! It's been too long! We've got so many boys around here these days, and you're the only sister I have, remember?? Throw me a bone!
oh, and p.s. I absolutely love your new family picture. It's so cute! I want one. :)
Your quilt will be awesome. I seriously need to develop that skill. I get a itch to cut and sew everytime I look at your blog! Jonas is adorable as you well know and the blanket thing is so cute! He is a charmer for sure.
Oh no! My quilting OCD has been passed on to you? Isn't it so much nicer when they are all stacked up? Oh how I love organization...
Can't wait to see your Quilt Soup! Hope it turns out better than the fruit soup did. (facebook) If I think of any applique, I'll let you know.
I remember that month, definitely a good one... we'll be here at Thanksgiving, so lets plan something fun!
