simple patchwork

I have a quilt top to show you today {!}

I started it almost a year ago,

but it has barely gotten a mention on the blog.

It's just a little something I pull out every now and then,

do a bit of stitching on,

then tuck away

until the next time.

Oops, I forgot and took a sideways picture.

I really need to learn how to turn them around.

Sorry about that, folks.



Can you tell what the quilt is on?

A stegosaurus spine! hehe :)

The local playground turned out to be a great place to take pictures -

happy, busy kiddos

plus

a dinosaur to hold the quilt

equals

success in my book! :)

I used leftovers, scraps, and odds & ends

some of which came from my mother originally

and made a top approximately

72 inches by 90 inches.

I amazes me the large, useful quilts that can be made from

seemingly insignificant quantities

of scraps that are just sitting around.

(maybe partly because I have a tendency to way over buy?)

I have been stalled out in the waiting to baste stage

for too long.

This quilt really needs to be finished

 and snuggled by a child :)

If you don't see evidence of basting and quilting around here soon,

you have my permission to give me a hard time about it :)
