Utilize

My word for the year was UTILIZE - and this weekend.... It came to the test!!

You know those weekends that are totally packed from the second you wake up until Sunday night?  This was one of them!! ( and remember we are one kid short right now lol)

I still Utilized my time and ta da...

Check out this fabric. I think it is reminiscent of a different era?

back in a time when fabrics actually came in 36 inch widths. Remember that?  The patterns (clothing) would be written for either 36 inch or 45 inch width fabrics?  I remember shopping with my Grandma and trying to determine who's patterns would fit on which width fabrics.  - she made PJ's for everyone for Christmas!

Anyways - this is what I have pieced. so far. And I think I am done.

Or maybe not - it may need a border - so we are testing it for a second.

I would love to tell you this is my original Design - but It is not. I got my Modern Quilts Unlimited Magazine and there is a pattern in there that just caught my eye. I changed it up just a tiny bit - and this is my Version.

What do you think? Border or no Border?  Little Bit likes the border... I am starting to believe in his design eye. You should see some of this drawings ;-)

And speaking of Little Bit - he had a pig show this weekend!

And then Middle Bit - he got put up for auction!!  I didn't get a photo of it, as I was too worried about who was bidding on him!  The whole group of FFA kids were auctioned off as a fundraiser - it was crazy!

We didn't get home until late - and Middle bit had to be back at the school for another event on Sunday... Crazy I tell you!
