Back from my Trip

Scrappy Trip Around the World is finally done.  I will have to say that this one and the low volume quilt are two of my favorites.  Must be the scrappy thing.

25 blocks, bound in a black and white stripe.   60x60 inches of 2.5 inch squares that I have been counting in my sleep for a couple of weeks.  Once you start making this quilt, it's hard to come up for air.
 Would you just look at that blue sky!  We have been having the best winter .  Usually it's gray and damp and foggy for weeks on end.  It was almost 60 degrees today!!  The mornings are frosty and freezing though.  I love it!

Anyway, I also finished the infinity scarf out of Berroco Vintage in Charcoal.  The lovely shell pattern can be found here.

 

While I'm writing this I'm having a glass of Bogle Old Vine Zin, and trying out a recipe for jalapeno poppers from Pioneer Woman.  They fit into my current low-carb diet and I'm testing them out for an appetizer to bring to an upcoming Superbowl party.
 No pictures because I ate them all (burp).  Man they were good.

I started working on a machine paper pieced wall hanging which is totally cool.  Here are four sample blocks laid out.

It's called Garden Geometry.  The quilt is from 100Bllionstars, and I have a complete quilt crush on her version with Parson Gray fabric.  So I ordered some.  I love the sharp angles contrasted with the flowery fabric.
And just because I have to satisfy the granny urge, I dragged out my Stylecraft DK, and decided to make a kid sized giant granny blanket, this one to be sent off to Project Linus charity.

It's going to be a good week.  I can feel it.  Or maybe it's the jalapenos and the wine.

Cheers!
