Ruby Fleur - Hour Glass Quilt Reveal

I can't believe it's been more than a month since I last posted. Time flies when you're living life. I could say I've been busy but that wouldn't be the truth.

So what's been going on...

Have you ever been in a state of mind where you feel like what you're doing isn't good enough? Well, that was how I was feeling about my blog. So I kept finding other things to do instead of blogging because I felt like, "What's the point. There are so many quilting blogs out there for people to follow. No one is going to follow me or read my blogs."

I was wrong. There are people reading my blog and following me. Not many but that's okay.  That's not why I started this blog. I started this blog so I could have a place to post pictures of my finished quilts and talk about quilting.

So let's talk about quilting...

In my last post, I talked about the next quilt that I was going to work on. Well, I finished it. The kit that I purchased from Craftsy was the Scarlet Chain with Boundless Ruby Fleur fabric. When I brought the kit I loved the fabric and the pattern but when I opened it last month I wasn't in love with the pattern but I loved the fabric, though I did throw in a few other reds and whites that I had on hand.  Instead of following the pattern, I decided to to do a quilt based on Amy Smart's (www.diaryofaquilter.com) Hour Glass Quilt.  I love the simplicity of the design and that it allows the beautiful fabric to be the focus. The only change I made was not to have a border. 

So here it is.

Please ignore the badly stained carpet...unfortunately Colorado is not always the prettiest in November. The grass where I usually take pictures is almost as brown as the carpet. Oh well. I think I might have to look in PhotoShop or something like that so I can make the pictures better.

Anyway...there you go. I'm back and will be posting at least once a month.

Hope to see you then...
