And then I started another quilt... this one is for my youngest daughter's bf/fiancé/partner/other half (not sure what to call him). He's been after me to make him a Las Vegas Raiders quilt...EVERY chance he gets - online, in the background when I'm on the phone with her, etc. I keep telling him "We'll see".
I bought the themed fabric a few months ago, but hadn't decided on the pattern I was going to use so didn't buy other fabrics to go with it until last week when I had decided on the pattern (BQ6) and I found just the right 2nd fabric at our local quilt shop. I needed a third fabric, but it was going to be white and I already had that at home.
I started cutting the pieces for the top on, I think it was Sunday, and had two blocks sewn by late Monday - and that's when I realized that I needed to figure out a different layout for some of the blocks so that the big squares were all facing the same direction. Took a bit of time, but I figured it out.
Wednesday, I was able to sew all the blocks together into rows and yesterday, it became a quilt top.
There's not a lot of space for me to stand to get a good photo (old sewing/craft room that still needs to be de-cluttered) and the ground is wet so I'm not taking it outside for it's photo op.
I bought Raiders themed fleece for the backing and will use my usual Hobbs 80/20 batting. I had enough of the themed fabric left over to make the binding and a couple of mug rugs.
Now, I just need to finish the quilt that's been on Mo'e 'forever' (since June)
