I got Patrick's pirate quilt almost done. I intend to get the binding done today. Then it will be done. I put his name in pieced letters on the back which I thought would be fun. This was a fairly easy quilt as it was just a yellow brick road pattern. But for some reason took a while to get motivated to do. I guess I liked all the pirate fabrics I had but when I put them all together I wasn't as crazy about them. The blues don't exactly match but I guess as a whole it's kinda cute since it has the theme going. I'm sure he'll like it-he's only four he doesn't know how to match colors! So after finishing this quilt and Ashley's baby quilt I should attack some UFOs before I start anything new. Although Bonnie is doing a super bowl bargello I am sort of interested in trying. Do I really want to start a new project? I really like starting new projects, they just don't all get finished.....

Looking good. Sure start something new.
Love your snowmen quilt and the embellishments sure give it an added surprise! Your pirate quilt is sweet and those brighter blues gives the quilt sparkle. What a great idea for adding a name to the quilt back!
patrick's name looks great! don't beat yourself up about it, since he definitely won't care about matching colors. and besides, colors are supposed to match - something I've been struggling with myself. gives the quilt more energy.
