quilt in progress # 8

I checked out this book from the library...

which had this picture in it....(I LOVE this quilt!!!!)



...remembered that one of my quilting goals this year is to make a 2 color quilt (just looking for the right one to make)....


...had a car trip this weekend to see my mother-in-law, so I knew I would have lots of time on my hands....so I ended up with this...

I really didn't intend to get into hand applique, but I am really loving the portability of this project. It may look a little primitive when it's done, since I am a beginner, but I am enjoying it.


The quilt is going to be 36" square and I may hang in on my daughter's wall, eventually.
And the coolest thing: I am carrying the whole works around in my new Holly Hobbie tin from Linda. :)
