I couldn't resist!

Okay, first things first!
The winner of the Geared for Guys e-Book is.....

#28 Binks
"Man! Isn't that too far away to even think about... Maybe something Home Depot related?"

It is a relief to know that I'm not the only person 
who does things on the fly and down to the wire.
Thanks everyone for playing!
Binks I will email you.

Last week I spent more time with this stack.


I couldn't help it.
I love it so!
I should probably buy more.  I'll be SO sad when it's gone.
For some odd reason I have been wanting to play with HST's.
I don't mind HST's but I don't exactly love making millions of them either.


But these fabrics actually told me that that's what they wanted to be.
A half square triangle baby boy quilt named Safari.
Or maybe I told myself.



I used a Denyse Schmidt print for the back.


And Apple of my Eye Green Herringbone for the binding.
Have I told you before that I really love making baby quilts?  
They're my favorite!

This quilt is for sale in my shop.
You can find it here
