Shoo-Fly Don't bother Me!

  Hello Friends!

Its New Years Eve!  Do you have exciting plans tonight?  My evening has been fun-filled with Mickey Mouse Go Fish with the kids and working on a quilt after they went to bed.  May not be real exciting to some, but its the perfect evening to me! Wanna see what I'm working on?  Say "Please."  Well, since you asked so nicely,

Its my Shoo-Fly quilt!  I'm using the Urban Zoologie and Remix fabrics from Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman and some white and orange solid cotton fabric from my stash.  The white is the background on most of the blocks but some of them will have orange as their background because the background of the print fabric is white.  It sounds a little random to not use the same background color for the whole quilt but I saw it done on a different quilt with a different block and it was pretty.  Added some more interest to the quilt.  I'm really liking how this quilt it coming out.  I've got 9 of the 24 blocks done, so I'm a little less than half way on it. (I've got a friend coming over in a couple of days to craft while the kids play so I should be able to make a lot of progress on it then).  I'm loving the colors and I love how well everything lines up!  I usually don't get things to line up that well, ever!  So this makes me happy!  

Well, my New Year's Eve is coming to a close (I almost never stay up long enough to watch the ball drop!  New Year's or not, my kids still wake up around 6am!)  I wish you all the best in 2013, may you be SEW happy!  See you next year!
