Flamingo Pixel Quilt Start

Hi everyone,

I have jumped back into quilting in the craziest way possible...a pixel quilt.  My daughter absolutely loves flamingos and I came across this cute flamingo quilt pattern at Flamingo Toes.  When I saw this pattern, I just knew that it was going to be my first step back into the quilt world.  It has definitely been an adjustment sewing/quilting around a toddler and making sure that she isn't stealing my straight-pins.  Ha!  When I am done with this quilt it is going to be a big one.  Each square measures 2inch X 2inch and there are over 1,000 squares.  It should make a nice Full size quilt after it is all said and done.

Here is my interpretation of the Flamingo quilt with my daughters favorite colors.

Not the best picture, not completely smoothed out

What do you think?  Should I add a colorful border around it before it gets quilted?

Happy Quilting!

Back At It

Hello quilt blogger friends,

I am making a comeback to the quilt blogging world after a two year hiatus!  Have a baby really puts a damper on your quilting.  Ha!  My daughter is older now and knows not to tear things up, so I am making the jump back into quilting with both feet!  I have plans for four quilts (so far), and I am so excited to get start.  One thing that is going to be alot different this time around is that I do not have a fabric store in my town anymore.  When I quilted years ago, my main place to get amazing fabric was Hancock Fabrics, but they have since closed.  I was so sad!  I guess that I will have to rely on Hobby Lobby, the internet, and other far off fabric stores.  Wish me luck!

I look forward to connecting with some of my old quilt blogger friends and see what everyone has been up to.
