Cold winter weather is a great time or excuse to stay inside and work on one quilt project or another. This weekend it definitly got cold. Saturday morning it was down to 21 degrees brrrr! Over the Christmas and New Year's holiday, I had eight days off from work and took full advantage of that time to start a new quilt project. I had bought several fat quarters awhile back just because I liked the colors and they were on sale. Never can pass up a fabric sale. Here are the fat quarters I started with.
I couldn't decide on what pattern to do with these so I went thur just about every quilting magazine and book looking for just the right pattern. Then I came across a copy of a pattern I had done one before. It is called Five Friends and was in a book with patterns to use with jelly rolls. Once I got started I decided that this quilt would be for my sister in law since her birthday was January 7th. I really think that the colors all turned out pretty good. I really like it.

Now I just need to quilt it all together. Now sure how I am going to quilt it though. Don't really want to ditch stitch or just meandor around. Any ideas??
