I got distracted

Normally, I am the type of person that works only on one thing until it's finished ... and then starts the next thing. Now this doesn't mean that I don't want to start something new = in fact it's quite the opposite.
If I had a choice, I think I would be working on 100 things all at once, but, I don't think I would ever get anything done that way. So, I try really hard to focus and finish each project before I start a new one.

Well .. I have been distracted from this little rule, and I started a new quilt.

Here are the fabrics I started with:



Then, following this really cool tutorial over on Bee square blog, I have been making a zig-zag quilt.

This is after doing the strips:



Then, I cut them into smaller squares:



And then ... I had to try and lay out the smaller squares ... I NEED MORE ROOM !! My husband hates when I do this, because I always steal the kitchen table. I suppose I could try and do it on the floor, but ... I don't want to:





I am not really sure how to rotate these pictures ... does anyone know how to do that?? Advice would be appreciated : )

This quilt actually has gone together pretty fast. I will show more pictures of this one, and the single girl quilt when they are done.

Ta ta for now,

Val

Please try and ignore the mess in the background .. I have issues with keeping my sewing area (aka my dining room) clutter free.
