So, I got a $50.00 certificate from my LQS for buying so much :mrgreen: :shock: . The owner had this bundle of 17 FQ's that was luscious, all teal and chocolate. She was making a woven ribbons quilt, and challenged me to make one with her. I KNEW better. I just don't do scrappy/unorganized. But, the 17 FQ Bundle and the pattern cost me just $1.96! :P :P

I knew while I was sewing the blocks that I wouldn't like the finished quilt, but I persevered. So I had all the blocks made and arranged so that no two fabrics adjoined (which was a chore, I'll tell you). While I was sewing the first row, my dear mother came in and rearranged the blocks. I was so disgusted I just started sewing blocks together at random. I really, really don't like this, but I'll use it to practice my FMQ on, so it won't be a total loss.

I did decide I liked the pattern, and made a coordinated quilt, which I'll post on another thread. The pattern is really easy, and this one went together in just a couple of hours.
