*blue lagoon - from pat sloan's focus on the center book*

i really like this one.
it doesn't scream, "i'm a medallion quilt!!!"
BUT it has great flow.

i was trying to figure out what fabrics i would use to make my own 'blue lagoon' and here's what i came up with . . .

gearing up.

it's that time again folks.

the time where apparently i can't get enough done, my to do list is the size of texas and i feel like i haven't slept in days.

i've been living on starbucks {& mountain dew}, utilizing my very trusty sample makers and probably driving my family insane.

yep. i'm gearing up for market.
so yall stay tuned.
