Bitty Bits of Spring

Bits of spring.

Spring is popping up ever so slowly it’s like 29 outside right now.  But we have had a few movement recently where it was warmer and we could get outside.  

I am currently thinking out about our garden, and if I want to make the kids another clubhouse.

Here’s March

Ahhhh. It’s March already I don’t even know how we got here it seems like days just float on by.  I didn’t really accomplish my Feb goals 100% oh well onward.  

• Blog 15 times - I did 7 
• Good lists -  I made 2!  
• Meal planning - I did this three weeks this week I failed.
• Do something uncomfortable - yep I did I went to an event I usually wouldn’t attend and I didn’t die.  I also had a few awkward conversations with people.
• Get steps in - I have good days and bad days work really factors in.  My busy work days usually impact this negatively.
• Van Shopping - still looking
• Order Photos 2017 - I ordered two months
• Buy new Underwear - Nope

So well I think that was better than I thought it was.  Some new March Goals:

• Finish a quilt
• Spring Break mini vacation 
• Make Easter Baskets
• St Patty’s Day Parade
• Plan and build garden beds
• Dates with Thea & Jones 
• start bathroom Renvoation 
• Buy new swimsuit
• Buy new underwear

There you have it.  If I put it out there I will do it right?  

Icy chaos or Icy Waters Quilt

Finally I finished this quilt.  Two years ago I took this workshop with Indy Modern Quilt Guild and started this guy.  I decided to shrink the blocks and use patterns where most people used solids.  The pattern is by my friend Amy Garro from her book Paper Pieced Modern it’s called Icy Waters; although I call mine icy chaos.  I love it although I wish there was more of the darker fabrics.  Jones immediately claimed it as he loves quilts.  

The quilting is like waves although since I picked a aqua so close to the color scheme it hard to see it.  After I washed it the quilt is super soft.

The back is entirely pieces in leftover fabric and the binding I think is a cotton steel with a little bit of pink moda to jazz it up.
