The last two weeks of December were just crazy for me. I did a whole bunch of stuff that I didn't have time to photograph (boo!) and didn't end up having time to make a Buche de Noel (double boo!).
The good news is that I was busy mainly because December 31 was my last day of having a corporate office job. I dreamed of quitting my job to pursue my real interests for pretty much the entire 10 years that I had it, and I finally decided that it was time. Needless to say, I'm really excited for the new year!
These Map of the States blocks have such an interesting piecing pattern that I thought it would look cool to photograph Melanie's quilt top hanging in the window.
Unfortunately, it got dark before I could photograph the finished quilt with binding, but I should have photos of the whole thing tomorrow. In the meantime, here's a peek at one of the pink blocks . . .
. . . one of the orange blocks,
. . . and one of the green blocks.
The binding is Mingle Dots in Cocoa. Photos of the finished product coming tomorrow!
I almost forgot my last Fabric Focus project for Sew, Mama, Sew! It's a Simple Party Clutch. The free pdf pattern is available here. (Beth included a really nice list of the other 11 months' projects in the post too.) Thank you, Sew, Mama, Sew for featuring my projects in 2009!
