I'll tell you what I've been doing..piecing a quilt top for my little guy that's what!
I woke up on Tuesday morning at a ridiculously early hour. So I decided that, instead of sulking over being awake so early, I would be productive. And I was. I got all the fabric pre-washed and ironed before 10am. All the fabric was cut immediately after wards, and then I pieced the whole quilt top before we went to pick little man up from school. Yay, go team me. I took the pictures before adding the final white sashing to either side. Sorry, but you get the idea.
I used the free pattern so kindly offered
here at
Made by Rae. Now I just have to get all the layers together, quilt, and bind it. Easier said than done but I'm excited about it. I really like how the white sashing contrasts against the colors of the blocks. I showed the top to little man and he is super excited. And I let him pick out the backing fabric, he picked out flannel hot wheels fabric haha. Such a boys boy.
