Weekend is here

For what it's worth. (I have a truckload of grading to do, and I also need to come in tomorrow and sort soil).

The quilt kit I requested for my birthday came yesterday. (I knew it was going to mean a wait until sometime in April; the kits weren't ready yet). It's a fairly simple kit, it uses a "layer cake" (10" squares) of a line of fabric called Sherbet Pips. It's sort of an unusual set of colors: red, gray, pale turquoise, and pink. Kind of a vintagey feel, I guess. I like the prints because there are a number of novelty prints. (You only use 30 of the 42 squares in the quilt; I am definitely using all the pieces of the novelty prints). (And the same line, on the designer's blog, where she writes a little about it)

I'm not sure if this will be the "next" quilt top I do, or if another one will. I have a lot of projects in mind. I always have more things I want to be doing than time to do it in. (Though perhaps, really, that's one of the keys to being happy - having more things that interest you than you have time to spend on them. Certainly it's better than the alternative of running out of things that interest you).
