72!

too bad its not 72 degrees... instead its 72 squares I finally cut out for the main square of the quilt.
a whopping 4 and 3/4 cut, so it will be 4 and 1/4 finished.

in other news...

the other day in the dollar store parking lot I found .01

and today the guy in front of me left his change in the self check out, I even tried to catch him cause it was $2!

so that brings my total to $2.22

not bad for the second month :D

By The Numbers

So I sat down and did a little math last night,
I had originally thought that I wanted to make 12 inch squares, but it turns out getting an even measurement to cut out with a reasonable size square is impossible, so 6 inch squares it is...
which means... 1.5 inch squares for the small squares (finished)
and 4 1/4 inch big squares...

those small squares yeah... I have to make ONE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND EIGHTY!!!!!

and small individual triangles I have to make  SEVEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY TWO

Let the cutting begin!

February

Well last month I said was mending month
and I got almost everything mended... but then my fabulous husband thought ... oh I want all of my pants hemmed, so the basket is full again, but I have other plans... at least for this month.

This month I am working on my 3rd queen sized quilt.
this quilt also needs to stay super secret, cause the person I'm making it for knows she is getting it for her wedding but doesnt know what it will look like.

and here are the fabrics...

the blue will be the big squares and the browns will be some of the triangles and white the other side.
what do you think?
