It's been one of those days! I have been waiting on the TV repairman all day (again) and he still isn't here! AAAAARRRGH. Apparently there was a "miscommunication". I heard "between 8AM and Noon" and they are saying no, it was "between 8AM and 5PM." Oh, well, got lots of sewing done. DH wanted a pocket cut off an old pair of jeans and sewn onto an also-old pair of jeans and a patch near the ankles. Wouldn't it be easier to just go buy a NEW pair??? But, no, these are his "favorite" work jeans. Okay, that's done. Got the blocks and rows sewn together for Birds and Roses (working title) and this is a photo BB (before borders). I can't seem to get a good shot of the true colors. I'm thinking about borders now. It's so fun to have a quick and easy quilt in between the Storms At Sea and the NY Beauties (a w-a-a-y old UFO) and the Block-Of-The-Month projects. Something you can actually see coming together in a few days! Hurray for Quick and Easy, I say.

It looks terrific there on the bed. Some prints just do not photograph well---like that plaid in the one I just showed on my blog recently looks gray---it isn't so perhaps that is the same problem with this one.
Hurrah for the quick and easy quilts that let us still sew but without the getting bogged down doing it.
I agree with Linda - hurrah for the quick and easy quilts. Instant gratification and we really need that.
It's a very pretty quilt and looks wonderful on the bed.
Not only is it instant gratification, but then there is something tangible to give to either a loved one, friend or someone in need. There's nothing better than a warm, cozy, beautiful quilt. It's like being physically there to give them a hug. /paula
The quilt looks great on the bed!
gotta love how a service industry thinks telling us what DAY they'll appear is service... Hope it eventually all works out.
Very pretty quilt...quick and easy quilts are very wonderful things. We need a break from the more complicated things. I think that keeps us motivated...a little instant gratification and then we can go back to the more difficult, labor intensive pieces.
This looks great - even if the TV guy was late or no show. =)
Making lemonade out of lemons, glad it didn't spoil your day... Come on didn't ever have that favorite 'something' you wore that just couldn't be replaced???'vbs' He's lucky to have you...

The quilt looks great, and it came together so quickly.
Ooooh, I really like that quilt, the colours you've chosen are just so striking, and it looks wonderful on the bed. Great work!

your quilt looks lovely. I especially love the floral fabric you used.
thanks for stopping by my blog.
I do so love the way rail fence gives you those two zig zag lines - never fails to please me no matter how many times I see the pattern made up in whatever choice of fabrics
I made one of these directional rail fences out of kiddie fabric and donated it. I thought it was really cute and it did go together fast.
