Thank you!! I actually used a modified version of the "Quilt in a Day" log cabin pattern (http://www.amazon.com/Make-Quilt-Day...5969738&sr=8-1). Instead of doing 2 1/2 inch strips I did 5 inch strips, and then just did some math to make it the right size for a twin bed. I ended up with 12 big blocks which made it pretty easy to put together.

Not only "heard" of it, but been by it hundreds of times.
If you are looking for something to do on Saturday, my guild is holding a quilt show from 10-5 in Sutter at the SYO Building on the corner of Acacia and Buttehouse. There is no way to get lost in Sutter. If you can come, find me - I am the show chair!

I do! Right now I'm finishing up a beach bag from this pattern:

I wanted something small to practice quilting on and I actually think I had a pretty decent go at FMQ. I just need to sew it together and bind it.

After that I'm doing a "squares and 4-patches" quilt for my 3-year-old.

I really like the Dragon Fabric.

Cheers, K

I just popped by your blog ... love it! It's so cool to see how someone else used the same fabric you used in a project. I struggled with how to balance the colors since there are so many different colored dragons and I finally just settled on reds and blacks with a few multi-colored polka-dots. I love how you used several of the dragon colors in your blocks and how you framed each dragon in its own square. Very cool!
