Some Days Are Diamonds

I think that will be the title of this quilt.

I got some sewing done yesterday: one more Futterby (Some Days Are Diamonds) block, one more Charisma (Bundt Cake) row, and the binding partially sewn down on the baby quilt. Today I'm working to finish the binding and to find the leftover fabric from the baby quilt to make a pillow case.

Don't you just hate it when you know you have something, you can see it in your mind zipped up in a plastic bag, you even know in what order the fabrics are stacked. In fact, you know everything about that fabric except WHERE YOU PUT IT!!!! I have looked high and low in that darn sewing room and can't find it.

So I've decided to take a break, think about something else, and maybe I'll have an epiphany. 

To see another beautiful version of the Flutterby design, go to Dokiquilts to see Dorothy's beautiful interpretation, created with "Barefoot Roses" fabrics by Grand Revival Designs. Dorothy's quilt has a soft, romantic look. It's lovely.

While I was searching and searching and searching for that baby quilt fabric, I found so many projects that I have started or just planned to start--quilts and things that I really want to make. I'm going to have to use Nicole's suggestion of quilting at least one hour every day and see if I can get as much done as she does. That woman! She holds down two jobs, takes care of two dogs, a husband, and a home, and still turns out quilt after beautiful quilt.

Pretty, pretty blocks! Can't wait to see more.
I hear you Susan - maybe I should try the one hour a day plan too. Don't you wish there were at least a couple more hours in the day?

Hi Susan, first and at the top of the list, I'm so glad Vann is feeling better and his count was up.
Now for all your projects, the diamond or going to be gorgeous, just like diamonds should be and your baby quilt below is so cute.
Keep Stitchen' and I hope you find your fabric,
Bonnie

I follow your blog, but have been unable to see it for weeks now. Every time I open the page, the internet would just shut down. But this morning, I finally got on. I wonder what changed? Love those diamonds - looks like the making of an excellent quilt.

Love the diamonds!

I made a Christmas tree skirt from Diamond Log Cabin blocks and still love it! It was foundation pieced like flip and sew with the batting and backing attached. The diamonds were quilted when completed, machine sewed together on one side and hand stitched on the back.

Hope you found that fabric!

My mother's name was Dorothy...

Hugs!
