    Funny, I said the same thing this morning when I started working on yet another quilt for myself (when in fact I was supposed to be making a quilt for a gift...). Oops! I love your new quilt already - I might have to give that pattern a try...

  26. Cute so far! Know what you mean about not having time... I'm working on gifts, but not for me, unfortunately! Some are going to be those cute checkbook covers you did the tutorial on awhile back! Already made one, & I even added vinyl pieces to hold the register pages back with, and for duplicate checks!
