Infrognito started

Ok, here's the start of the Infrognito blocks... I didn't get started on them when I said I was going to... got in the mood to work on something else first - which is part of the reason why it's taken me so long to get started on these.  The pattern calls for 19 of these blocks and one blank block with a frog applique'd onto it, then three borders... it only makes a crib size, though, so I just might keep making the blocks for a larger size.

What I worked on before starting these blocks was a Christmas gift for my step-son.  I mentioned in an earlier post how he asked for pillows to go with the quilt I made him for Christmas two years ago and how I wasn't sure I could find the same background fabric - but was able to & bought 4 yards 'just incase'; it was the border fabrics that I couldn't find this time and ended up settling on some homespun.

Then, because I still had about 3 yards of the background fabric left and for the fun of it, I made this pillowcase ( will buy pillow later)  The 'cuff' on the pillowcase is the same as the back of one of the throw pillows and similar to the back of the other one... both red plaids, just different.

He said he named his dog "Lucy" because he wanted to come home and yell "Luccyyy  I'mmm hommme" like Ricky Ricardo/Desi Arnez used to do on the I Love Lucy tv show. It's blank on the other side just incase he actually wants to lay his head on it.

Tomorrow, I hope to get a charity quilt onto "Mo'e" and giterdone and out of my house temporarily.  Then I can start on my older daughter's tablerunner :); I'm almost excited about doing it now that I know curves are not as scarey as I thought they would be.

Oh, and I found out that I wasn't the only one who's row by row with the Robin & eggs came out short.  One of my cousins (and fellow guild member) said that her's did, too.  I don't feel so bad now.

Yesterday, a friend and I took a quick trip over to the quilt shop in Portland.  I wanted to try and get some of the fabric that they used for the fence in their row by row kits.  I lucked out... bought one of the last scraps they had... and I'm not kidding when I say scraps.  This piece is MAYBE a fat eighth.
Enough for what I need, though.  I want to use it for the ark in my  2015 AQS Challenge  -- The Unicorn Quilt (wall hanging).  It won't take alot as the ark is to be off in the distance and so won't be very big. ----Something else I've got to get started on SOON.  It's due the beginning of March and I've got some things that I want to practice or experiment with before I actually try it on the quilt.

Til next time  Happy Quilting!!
