sslllooooowwww progress

It started as a joke.
I saw some fabric in a newsletter that I thought was insane.
I posted about it on Facebook.
A friend made some offhand comment, joking, about how bizarre it would be to see that in a quilt.
A month later my brain was still creating ideas.
Two months later at a quilt show I found the very same fabric I had made fun of.
I bought it.
I bought the other fabric in the same series as well.
IF I can get the top finished this week, I'll not only start frantically quilting next week, but will also submit two sheets of paper to the Home Furnishings Department of the NC State Fair, obligating me to finish this entire project by October 10.
So if you don't hear from me much these next few weeks, you'll know why.
It's all Carroll's fault. ;)
She's birthed the idea for not only THIS year's quilt, but 2012 and 2013 as well!
