Sweet Talk

It’s a bit of a blustery day here today. 

When it was time to send my kindergartener to school today he and I peeked out the window, saw the sunshine and decided all he needed was a hoodie.  Well, off he went on his bike to school.  Four minutes later he came running home.  He had gotten all the way to school and THEN decided that he needed his heavy coat.  So he had come all the way back home just to grab another coat and go all the way back to school.  Funny kid.  Glad we live close to the school!



This week I finished up this quilt top.  This is made from my Sweet Talk pattern (you can find it here or here.)  I’ve made two Sweet Talk quilts before this one (one with Noteworthy and one with Honey Honey) but I didn’t really love either of those.  One was made to be a display quilt for a local quilt shop and the other is my reading quilt (translation: nap quilt). 

A few weeks ago I was playing around in EQ7 and created this using the “Surrounded By Love” line from Moda.  Love.  Instant love. 

Lucky for me the Valentine’s Day fabric are all on sale right now, AND this is a fast and easy quilt pattern.  I got everything cut out one night while waiting for the kidlets to fall asleep.  The next afternoon I had the HSTs created.  Yesterday I arranged everything on my design wall and by last night I had a finished quilt top. 

This afternoon’s project is to piece together a quilt backing using the scraps. 

Have a wonderful Friday everyone!
