Castle In the Air

I've been wondering if there is some sort of intervention program for obsessive quilters. My "homework assignment" was to create four quilt blocks. This seems simple, but it really takes a lot of brainwork to figure out what to cut and how to sew it. We aren't using patterns, just drafting out the blocks and figuring out how to make them. For me, it has been great fun. However, I can't seem to stop. I wake up early every morning with plans for cutting material and sewing it back together. I don't watch TV; I sew. It is sorta creepy when you think about it. I think DoJo is planning an intervention. If my quilting rulers disappear or my rotary cutter goes missing, you will know that DoJo has stepped in. I don't see why he should complain. It's a harmless hobby. He has a hobby too. It's called Church.

9-patch-9

My first project, a 9-patch-9. I loved the materials separately, but I'm not crazy about the finished product. However, may I point out how very SQUARE all the corners are?! This is what I was doing at 4am this morning when I couldn't sleep. I'm hoping this onset of insomnia will pass once Wesley is safely in the MTC. In case it doesn't, I have quilt blocks to make! :)
