because it gives me a window of opportunity to get various things done without a little person 'helping' me or without feeling guilty for leaving said little person playing on his own. As I'm a working mummy, I am only home during nap time for 4 days and some days nap time is about an hour or so long, so that lets me catch up on a a little bit of cleaning or maybe something I've sky+'d. Other days the little person has a LONG nap time. Like today, he decided to sleep for 3 hours!! So I made very good use of the time and did this ....
I made the blocks last week when I was on holiday and last night I put them together to make the 4 rows. So during nap time I sewed roundabout the hearts, sewed the rows together and put on the inner and outer borders. As I mentioned in a previous post I've had the material and pattern since about July 2006 so I'm very glad to now have a completed quilt top. I bought some backing material last weekend so at some point this week I'll layer it up and start to quilt it. Not sure how to quilt it, I'll probably just do a random squiggly thingy. That the vibe I'm getting from it, higglety-pigglety-squigglety-ness.
Pedro asked me why I'd made it? It's difficult to explain 'just because'! I think he meant if I'd made it for someone or for a particular reason. But no, it's just for me and will look pretty in our livingroom.

My favorite projects to work on are ones I have no plans for! You are so free to change direction or just scrap it if it's not going the way you feel is right. I think you'll end up loving this one! Those are some sweet hearts.
"just because" projects are my favourite kind! This WILL look gorgeous in your living room - I love all those hearts!
