The Path of Least Resistance

Toward the end of last month

 my little sister came for a visit.

It was going to be her

 birthday so I quickly

 made a couple of 

pillows for her, along with a 

couple more for her

sofa using

 Tula Pink Octopus fabric. (not shown)

We grew up at the beach, 

so she decided

to decorate her new home 

with a beachy feel. 

  

 I also put this quilt on the bed 

in the guest room         

for her... and let her take it 

home with her

   when 

she left.

I love this quilt and especially the quilting on it.

Fortunately, I have more of the Going Coastal fabric

that I stashed away... so I am able to make 

another Round and Round Quilt for myself to keep.

But the pattern I used for the pillows

 has been on my to-do list

for quite a while! 

I jumped on the band wagon for the 

Sewing a Village quilt along 

on Instagram.

It is a great way to use your left over fabrics!

I only have one roof made...

but it's coming together!

This was my original pick for the fabrics

to put in my Village.

I guess

that I am going for a Spring colored quilt!

It seems that I happen to have a lot of

choices to pull from for that theme!

And just because I find it hard to resist...

I joined another Instagram sew along.

It's a Jelly Roll rug sew along. The

ones I have seen are all turning out so

cute! But let me tell you.. it was so hard to 

open up this jelly roll!

It's by Cluck Cluck Sew... and the fabrics are adorable, 

so of course I have been hoarding it.

It's time for it to be used... that's what I keep telling myself!

I can't wait to see the rug come together.

Last weekend was interrupted by the

Super Bowl, but I think I will find time this weekend.

I also couldn't resist a couple of layer cakes...

Mamas Cottage is by April Rosenthal

and  Flower Mill by Corriander Quilts.

I really needed Flower Mill... because I know

I am going to want Corey's next line of fabric coming out soon.

I seem to have big plans for a short month!

How about you?
