Battling winter's chill...

I figure if I at least keep the stash in the corner of my kitchen organized when company shows up, maybe I'll look slightly less crazy and obsessive.

It's probably too late for that, but I can dream, can't I?

So I was putting months worth of fabric scraps away this past weekend and came across a large Ziploc bag with a UFO that was so far off the radar, it was in a completely other galaxy.

It was the substantial start of something that ended up being something else, begun in 2005, maybe 2006 -- I obviously had issues with it, because I've repressed the memory. I do remember that I didn't like where it was going at the time, so these blocks got bagged up and stowed away for another day.


Well, that day is today. It's ELEVEN DEGREES out (for those of you in Centigrade Land, that's MINUS TEN), and these are flannel, and I feel compelled to work with something warm.

These were also in the bag. I really hate working with triangles but love sawtooth borders...this looks to be enough for at least two sides, so I may have to break down and use them.


It's a really good head start, half the work's already been done. Now I just need to find the rest of the fabric.

That could be a problem.


Happy Friday, all! Stay snuggly!

brrrr! working under a flannel quilt would be a good thing today. isn't it funny how some projects can simply disappear from the radar screen! it is nice to start a project part of the way done, though.
ps...now that's a snuggly kitty! may just inspire me to take a nap instead of working today.

Oh yes, flannel sounds good! I'm working on a flannel one now too...my 1st try at that fabric. Looks like you have a good running start there!

Archie looks so warm and snuggly/cuddly! Smart kitty!

I have never worked with flannel; but I love the fabric colors and prints. These are what I would love for my decor....what my family would love for me to make! LOL Great start; keep going. This will be another great quilt.
