It’s been a year already???

Ohmigosh.  I started this blog one year ago today.  Amazing!  Wanna see what I’ve been working on lately?

Oh.  Here – let me clean up a bit first…. *Itsy takes a deep breath and blows the dust off her blog page*

Cough, cough.  Where was I?  Oh yeah!  It’s been awhile since my last post.  *blush*  I have ever so many  excuses reasons for that…my sociology and astronomy classes, World of Warcraft, my addiction to e-books, chatting with friends, my addiction to e-books (did I already say that??)….

My youngest had a birthday in October.  A few weeks before his birthday, he informed me that his toes stuck out the bottom of all his quilts!  Not good!  A new quilt was definitely needed!  He loves Marvel’s Super Hero Squad, so that was an obvious choice for theme.  We shopped around and ended up with 8 or 9 different fabrics.  Click any of the photos for a bigger version.

I chose to keep it simple – 88 squares of fabric.  It ended up being a decent size – it will be awhile before he grows out of it.     😉

The finished quilt measures 56″ by 77″

It won’t win any quilting awards, but his reaction was all the reward I need.

The backing is flannel, so it will keep his toes (and the rest of him) nice and cozy all night long.   🙂

Now that the quilt is done, I have to concentrate on school for a while.  Research papers, exams, presentations…all my favorite kinds of things to do (not)!!  But, they must be done. Gotta keep my grades up, ya know.  Four weeks left, then I can play.  Yippee!!!!!!
