Brain Drain....

Ahhhh....I just can't seem to stick to just one project at a time.  In fact, I can't seem to stick to two or three projects at a time.  I am just going to tell myself this latest dip into the quilt pool is just for fun....we will see where it goes from there.
I have been looking at Pinterest...which can be a great source of inspiration....and if you are like me, it can also be torture.  There are so many amazing quilts, and crafts, food....goodness! 
Found a quilt I rather like....


So with my trusty freezer paper I have been trying to figure out what seems like a simple block....block seems fairly simple, but how the quilt goes together turns out to be a bit baffling.


It is a vintage quilt and I am fairly certain it was hand pieced.  Honestly, I think it would be easier to piece together by hand. 


I am really not certain how the rows are added....I can't see how it is done without a Y-seam....again, I think this would have been easier to put together by hand.  Some things just are. 


I will keep working with it and then I will post more proper pictures.  It is awfully cute....very scrappy and patchwork-y and cute :)

And speaking of cute...my UN-CHEERY Basket Quilt is sporting one of my favorite Liberty fabrics....I only had a tiny bit left so this sweet little basket gets to wear it!

  
Busy weekend ahead for us...hope you have fun plans as well...
