A new quilt...

It seems like forever since the last time I blogged. I have been busy with the kids this week. My youngest daughter turned 1 on Feb. 13th! I just can't believe it! They grow so fast! We just had a small party to celebrate. Nothing fancy but now my other girls keep asking when their party is. I'm talking like everyday. They make me banana's but I sure do love them!
    
 Anyway, Ive been wanting to make a quilt for my Dad for some time now. I new it had to be blue and manly looking. Picking the fabric was easy now what to do with that fabric that hasn't been so easy. I finally decided to go with stars. I made this big star block for the center. It's about 23 inches.



I've made a few 10 inch blocks but I'm not sure how I'm going to use them yet.



I have know idea how this is going to turn out. I'm starting to wish I had followed a pattern. I'm sure I'll think of something. I hope!

Here's a little pic of my baby girl!





Well that's all for now. Hope everyone has a great week!

Eccentric Star





Hello! Today I wanted to show you the latest quilt block that I have been working on. Eccentric Star. Which I think is the perfect name. It's made using mostly half square triangles. It's really simple to make.



It's something a little different than your average star block. You can totaly change the look of it by using two different prints. But I think I like it best with just one. What do you think? Bet it be cute scrappy too. 


Thanks so much for reading my very first post! Hope to see ya again!
