So I have been working on some projects the last few weeks, in my free time (ha!  hahahaha!)

a quilt for a certain lovely lady

And finally finishing my diaper bag.  I had almost gotten it done, only to have gotten my head all turned around and accidentally sewed the handle into a Mobius loop.  I got so frustrated, I dumped it in a corner and left it there for months.  I want to start a new bag, though, and needed to get this one done first.  SO here it is!  It’s Amy Butler’s Nappy Bag, and the fabric is a Japanese import.

All the pieces are cut, and I am in the process of lining up blocks for Baby Ellen’s quilt.  Hurrah!

I am an aunt!  Hurrah!  Of course, it also means I need to make a quilt for my new niece.  To keep me honest, I am going to start blogging my progress.  Here goes!  Today I prepared and cut the main colors:

I have never worked with triangles on the bias before.  This could be interesting…
