Happiness!

Woke up this morning to this...


...which soon turned to rain, disappointment and bad hair, but never mind, look what I made this evening...


 As soon as the dinner plates were cleared off the table, the sewing machine was out, and my 36 #scrappytripalong blocks were stitched into one beautiful quilt top.


I know I have asked before whether is it wrong to love something you have made yourself, well this time, I am not even asking.
  
I love it!

There was swearing, in a very good way, as I flapped out the completed top after sewing the last seam.  It is beyond what I had hoped for, and I am so so pleased I jumped into this using my most precious hoarded fabric!


I will try to catch up with blogs and emails later, but I might not!  If you have a problem with that, you'll find me on Cloud 9!

    There is NOTHING wrong with loving what we make! It'd be strange not liking it!

    Well, now you have a precious quilt from that hoarded fabric, entirely more useful than a stack of yardage. Way to go! My scrap vomit is making me equally as happy as I work on it, I must say.

    Gorgeous... I am trying to justify jumping on the scrappy trippy bandwagon...there are such a lot of things ahead of it in the queue. Lovely to make a quilt 'just because' and its going to contain so many of your favourite fabrics. ..... It's like an adult i-spy...and is 'So you"

    It would be pretty tragic if you didn't love what you made! Still resisting the urge to join in with this. I actually had to start a new project I'd designed today just to stop myself.
