Quilting and things from my day

I've been wanting to make a quilt for a long time. (I've made other blankets and things with yarn, but not with cotton fabric.) So I asked my wonderful Sister-in-law, Katie, to help me, which she did tremendously! Thank you Katie!!! And here are some pictures of what I'm doing.

<--- Cutting long strips of fabric into five inch squares. Lots and lots of cutting, thankfully my sis (in-law) was able to help me cut most of it today!















<--- Stack of blue squares. When I'm done cutting the purple squares there should be about the same amount. Lots and lots of squares!
















<--- Squares together. In the picture they don't really look good together, but they really do. Perhaps it's bad lighting or something in the picture.












<--- Way neat-o tea pot I bought at the secondhand store today. It's the best!!!! Isn't it cute? I think of little house on the prairie, or some old log cabin and the mother of cute little kids cooking over a big black cook stove and making herself some tea or coffee!












<--- Another really cool tea pot with iced tea in it. :) Yummy!!!

















<--- Book I'm reading, the movie was way good, but I wanted to read the book, just to make sure. ;)















<--- Really soft and warm blanket I also bought at the secondhand store! I also turn it into a shawl. :) It's just the right size!












<--- The little fringes on my warm blanket. Aren't they pretty!!?? :)
