finish #2

this itty bitty quilt is also done.  it's a lori smith pattern from her book "fat quarter quilts."  i've used this terrific book quite a bit for patterns and inspiration. it's chock full of little quilts, blocks and ideas.  these are colors i hardly ever use, but i saw them together in a shop a while back and picked up a few FQs for a future project.  they were perfect for this.  it measures 16 x 20 so you know those HSTs are really tiny...for me anyway.  i hardly ever do projects requiring units under 1"...short, chubby fingers you know!  **** it's early yet but the temp is already over 50 degrees, with a high of over 80 expected today, despite that no sun will be out....a good beach day even so.  our wacky weather continues.

  1. I hear you on the "not my color" thing, but I think I would have been tempted by the fabrics as well. It has a beautiful, soft, summery feel to it. Makes me want to be out walking the beach--but we don't have one here! : )
