Quilting Doldrums

In looking at my blog, 
I realized that I haven't posted anything since the end of September.

Where has the time gone??!!  
And here it is already the middle of October.

I haven't been doing too much sewing the past couple of weeks. 
I guess I have been busy with other things and
have been in the 'Quilting Doldrums'.

I do have a quilting weekend coming up so I had better be getting it together!

I am having trouble picking out my fabrics for a double wedding ring quilt 
which is on the agenda for the quilting weekend.

Here is what I've picked out so far . . .

 I need two more fabrics and then I'll be on my way.
I'm not so sure why I am grappling with this so much.

Since I haven't posted anything for a long time, 
I thought I would show off a quilt I made 4 years ago for my nephew.

It was one of the first quilts that I made and definitely the first I quilted myself.

I used flannel so it would be nice and cuddly.
If I remember correctly, my sister wasn't sure if she was having a boy or a girl.


I remember using a pattern from a book at the library and before I could finish,
I had to return it.


I remember it being challenge working with an all flannel quilt.


All in all, it came together nicely and was enjoyed.

What more could a quilter ask for?

Hope you are enjoying your week!!
