My DH and I have been iced and snowed in for days and I decided to make a quilt top while stuck. I was so proud of myself - I picked out a pattern (I was going to follow one this time!) I selected the fabrics - then I read over all the instructions for cutting. I cut up all the fabric and when I went to start sewing I realized I had cut the fabric wrong - I had cut strips all to 3 1/2" width and most were to be 6 1/2" wide. (How dumb can you get!) Anyhow after being discouraged and disgusted with myself I decided it was a perfect opportunity to make something totally different! I'm doing a D9P. I am such a control hog that it's really quite liberating to be going totally random.

Those of you that are as anal as I can be should give it a try! It's looking beautiful and I can hardly believe I've done it.

Good things really do come when you least expect them. Here's to more snow and ice.
