my bulb is burning!

last july, i had made a "roads" quilt and entered it into the local county fair. i didn't win but i received recognition.

my hurricane (barely three) had her animal toys out and she positioned them so that they were "drinking."

*ding!*

my little light bulb bursted on...i was going to make her a jungle roads quilt. that day, we went to jo-anns and i had her pick out green and blue fat quarters.

i started drawing up a simple 3x3 block quilt...something sweet and small. well, i wasn't happy w/ the different sketches that i drew up.

my final "map" of the jungle quilt turned out to be a 7x8 block quilt. it's going to be our couch quilt. so of course we had to get more fat quarters!

on national quilt day (march 21) i finally finished the top and sandwiched it together. i'm uber happy with the results!

the backing is halloween fabric and dang it all, i still have a bunch of it leftover!

i'm trying to rush through the baby quilt i'm making for a sister-n-law so i can start quilting this one.

i also haven't named it yet, but i think my hurricane's leaning towards animal quilt. haha
