Happy New Year! It's a Hoot!

So I finally finished my quilt I have spent most of the year on (it seems).

Fabric bought in April (whole fat quarter collection). Picked a pattern and off I went.

It stalled...got picked up here

with New Year around the corner, I got it finished! There was something weird about it

 hanging around till 2012!

So, I picked the 35 degree New Year's Eve to baste;

threw in some spare blocks and some stash pink;

and sat under the air con and sewed!

I finished it on New Years Day, evening, and had a beach day the next day planned (BEST 

place to cool down in 40 degree heat! Swam for the first time in about 2 years!). So.....

oh, and a gratuitous gorgeous daughter shot!
