Just a quick post to show the quilt I made yesterday.  I am supposed to be on a quilt budget, to that I say budget schmudget!  Can you believe I whipped this puppy together in one day?  I am an amazing quilter, and modest too!  LOL  Ok ok, it's made from cheater fabric.  Actually, it was a bitch to make, it was hard fussy cutting those motifs to get the points to line up.  It was a little misaligned on the fabric which made it a bitch to cut.  I was coming along nicely until I went to put the side borders on and then no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get them to line up and a couple even had to sacrifice their points.  I will pretend it is an antique quilt and that was lovingly done that way on purpose.  It will just be a utility quilt to put on my den sofa when it's done anyway, not for display.  At least all 4 corners don't match up the same way, then I can say it was done on purpose to make it look vintage!  I loved this fabric, they had it on display in the shop and I had no idea it was cheater until it was pointed out to me.  It looks red in the picture, but it's a really pretty muted orange that looks like it's been washed a million times.  I had to have it.

That's all I did yesterday for my day off work.  We were going to go to Road to California, but honestly, I have been BAD when it comes to a quilt budget, and I have been known to drop $600 or more there in the past, so it was probably cheaper that I just went to a LQS and picked this up.  I can't wait to get it quilted.

It's a cold rainy day here in SoCal. We need the rain.  I don't think it's going to amount to much, but it makes for good sewing weather.
