Alright, you got me, this post is not crafty. I just happen to have the most darling little pooch on the face of the planet. (no offense to my pet owning friends - I am confident you feel the same way about your four legged companions) This September marked the third year that Sophia brightened our home. We rescued her from a dog pound in Columbiana county. She has been enjoying the warm fall weather almost as much as I have. Her latest trick is to seek out acorns and attempt to eat them before we notice. This photo is from one of our walks today - hope you enjoy!
Had to include this gem, not a day goes by that Sophie doesn't have something comically attached to her beard!
So, here it is - the finished wonky log cabin; reveling in all of its glory. I must say I am a bit impressed with myself; this is the most expedient quilt project I have ever worked on! I really do love it! I finished coordinating pillowcases this weekend and plan to take on a couple of other pillow projects to complete the bedding. (namely the anthropologie pillow with the giant applique mum) 
The next step is to have it quilted. I live to piece and hate to quilt, I am simply not patient enough. My thoughts are to have the center done with a diagonal grid and the outside border with a smaller diagonal grid. Should be simple enough; now to find a talented quilter who fits into the budget!
It's DONE! My wonky log cabin quilt top is finito! I am so excited to actually be finished before the next round of the quilt along begins (circles this time - you should join us!) I realize that I am not as speedy as some of my fellow cohorts who have their quilts finished, like completely finished, quilted and on the bed already - but I am thrilled to turn my attention to pillowcases :) Pictures to be posted soon - d a r n rain REALLY puts a 'damper' (haha) on outdoor photos.
Also - what joy is mine as I am the proud new owner of the brand-new-unreleased charm pack of Moda's newest line Blush. (yea for connected m-i-ls) I was going crazy reading everyone's blogs about quilt market whilst I am stuck in Ohio dreaming. I thought I would include a photo so you can dream a little about what you might make when you get some of this lovely line for yourself.
Last weekend I did a little experimenting with wonky houses. I am playing around with the idea of making one of these house blocks the center block in my wonky log cabin quilt. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions! This one is made from fabric scraps (not the fabrics used in my quilt).
I machine quilted the block and turned it into a fun beach bag. I need to hang this tote somewhere that I will see it during the impending cold winter days.
