I think I've got an idea of how I will place them, and I bought the sashing fabric. However, my artsy orthodontist brother made some interesting suggestions for me to think about doing. I'm not sure I'm ready to tackle what he suggested, but I may just go for it. I'm being vague on purpose, because if it doesn't turn out, I don't want to be held accountable!!
in other project news (pictures to follow in the next few posts):
*I'm working on the binding of that quilt - hope to have it in the mail by Monday.
*The dresser is painted and in my kitchen, but I'm trying to figure out what to do with the knobs.
*I started a diaper bag, changing pad project with Megan for a mutual friend.
*I started an online Photography course that I'm totally excited about. I think I may get the hang of the manual setting on my D40!
*I managed to time a fabric order (several yards of Daisy Chain by Amy Butler) to arrive the day DH left for a month. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I've done that without even planning it! It's a boost to get a pretty package like that on a day that bums me out. I'll have to figure out something REALLY good for the day he leaves for Afghanistan for 3 months.

It looks great! Glad you have fabric to make you smile - and your little cuties :)
I've always meant to take a photography course ... I bought a nice 35 mm 12 years ago and still haven't learned how to use that, let alone our SLR.
You'll love the Daisy Chain fabric. It's so pretty!
I hope you keep busy the whole time he is gone!!
Prayers to your family.
Can't wait to see the completed quilt!
He's going to Afghanistan? ooo-boy. Enjoy the fabric. Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog--I noticed last year when your dad passed that it was 3-3. What a day eh? Did you fair okay? One year--it's big. I can't wait to see the finished green birdy quilt.
Hey, Amy. Thanks for your nice comment on Justin's blog about moi. So kind!
I LOVE this quilt and can't wait to see more. WOW! It looks amazing, so many cute little birds around!
you are a busy bee. I want to see more photos of your notion or two blocks. they look great. and I can't wait to see what you do.
I so need to take a photography course. I just splurged and got the Pentax 2000K SLR camera and really need to learn some techniques use it more efficiently. Initially I was going to get the D40, but the Pentax SLR was on QVC on easy pay and came with the zoom lens, gotta love easy pay. I cant wait to see your dresser painted.
My goodness you are a busy girl!
3 months? unacceptable! guess we will have to visit to help you pass the time -
