Last HST baby quilt. . . for now.

Here's the final quilt in the trilogy of half square triangle baby quilts. Same idea as the last one I posted but with so much more quilting. I do have a thing for those long straight(ish) lines and the mitered corners. Love. This one is destined for a new baby for my wedding photographer.

I've recapped before but I'll do it one more time.  All fabric is Kona cotton.  Colors were butter, banana, violet, thistle, purple and magenta. Background is my current favorite - Kona in medium grey. Seems like that sneaks into so much of what I'm making lately.

And here's the back. Random print from stash and leftover solids. Trying to use up what I have. As a woman at one of my quilting groups pointed out this week, it's lots of fun to shop from your stash.

It's been a bit quiet on the sewing front for me lately. I fell last week coming down some steps in the dark (sounds shadier than it is) and when I hit the ground, I heard a pop. I thought I'd just sprained it but the next morning, Scott was insistent that I go to the doctor. Three doctors and several xrays later it turns out that I actually chipped a bone on the top of my foot. BOO.  The orthopedic specialist cleared me to sew but it's still pretty painful. I was able to get binding on a quilt that is waaaaaay overdue (I'm looking at you, Kelly) so at least I have handwork to do. However, I'm starting to get frightened about finishing five more throws before we go back to Africa in less than three months. . . I'll probably be stitching binding on the 16 hour flight.  Yeeps.
