However if you are concerned with the fact that he has a gap in his head, fear not! I'm just too damn tired and grew frustrated when I realized that the top line of the large green blotch is crooked and will need to be taken apart to fix at some point. But such are the mistakes common with sewing late at night and are to be expected.
It has been pointed out to me on many occasions that I have yet to quilt something for myself. This is true but only because I think that crafts should be shared and not hoarded. A college roommate of mine has nine of my hand knitted scarves. What started as a request to make her a Harry Potter scarf turned into "hey, i just made this. want it?" time and time again. Until recently I have not found a quilt style that I loved. I enjoy modern themes and whimsical patterns because it makes things fun. And I adore red tones. My whole room is done up in reds and golds. With that in mind it took me a while to find a quilt idea that I would like enough to make my new comforter.

I love it. I found it while using StumbleUpon. Aside from being down right addicting and being the bane of all bedtimes it does bring me new and exciting new ideas for quilting. This was found here, in a sort of tutorial and comes with a link for a book that can be purchased to teach the techniques of color transitions necessary to make this quilt. Surprisingly enough, this quilt was done entirely in batik patterns, which you would most commonly see in island dresses or sarongs. I think they are so ugly on the bold when I see them in stores that I often forget that their garish colors and patterns are lost to small scale pieces. When used in a piece such of this you can hardly tell. Once Christmas is past and have recovered from what I will assume will be a total burning out from sewing I will make this my own personal project.
