have I been sewing ...

Yes I have ... along with the other things that routinely go on around here.  I have finished another quilt top -- with a line of valentine themed fabric that I bought at least three years ago.  I'm consistently behind the times if nothing else :) I used a Moda Bakeshop pattern.  It was easy and fun to put together. 

I started with a Layer Cake -- some of which I cut into four pieces  to use as the center blocks of the finished squares.

 Then I cut the 10" Layer Cake squares into the strips needed to border the center blocks.

After that it was just a matter of piecing the blocks and adding some borders.

I was very happy with my valentine results.



As soon as I finish quilting the Scrappy Nine Patch I made for Michael, I am going to sandwich and quilt it.  Maybe that will happen before the fourteenth.  If I get into my sewing room this afternoon, maybe it will even be finished today.
