lots of pieces...

on saturday, i finished getting all the fabric i needed for the new baby quilt from sew to speak.  it is the sweetest little fabric store around.  the quilt is going to be so cute... i hope. :-)  here is the inspiration fabric which is from 'boys will be boys' by david walker.


how cute is that?  so, the quilt is made of 48 - 8" blocks and 48  6.25" circles...



sew the circles to the squares,


 then cut all the squares into quarters...




now, trim the extra material under the circle so that you don't have the patterns showing through... all my extra little pieces...


my dog, cooper, likes to sit on the steps just above where i am working.  it's a cute face to look up to when i am sewing or painting.


i found the instructions for this quilt on cluck, cluck, sew in the tutorial section (i loooove this site, by the way).  the quilt is called raw edge circle quilt.  my next step is to take all the quarters, put them back into mixed squares, and sew them back together.  hopefully, i will have a full morning to work on that tomorrow.  look for an update tomorrow.
