It seems every time I  take a minute to look over everyones newest addition in the land of quilts  here in blogger land, I look up at the clock  to find it has been much longer than a minute. Anyone else have that challenge? There is such beautiful work it is all so inspiring. I then find I've given away time that I could have used at my sewing machine.  Sigh---

I started last night  cutting fabric for the Disappearing four patch that will be my next project. I've never really followed a set pattern before and  I had been admiring the turquoise / red quilts I've been seeing on all of the wonderful blogs I follow. I  decided to make one with those beautiful colors for myself.

This weekend was the first time in a very-long-time, my family was all home together without a few extra teens. I love it when my girls have their friends over but it was kinda nice just us. I decided I would work while we watched a movie together. I hauled my cutting mat, fabric and all the needed doo-dads to the family room and started in.

Two yards  of material later I realized I was cutting the wrong fabric for the squares.

  I either sighed really loud or my husband had been watching me cut because he said-- "uh oh, thats the I need more fabric look, I know that look".  I had actually wanted to use the fabric I cut for the backing.  I will have to think of something and what I'm not sure yet but I set it aside for the night and grabbed a bowl of popcorn and  kicked back under my "too small quilt" that I finished earlier.

After I complete my Sunday chores or groceries and laundry catch up , dinner and dishes I think I will try a practice disappearing 4 patch. However, it occurred to me that I just might try some square in square pattern and use all of the fabrics. You see--- this is why it takes me so long to complete a quilt: because it takes me a while to decide how to begin the quilt.

Will post the results of my "maybe's" .... soon.

Be well my friends! (and say hello)
