Do you ever get the urge to sew something quick, easy, and a little bit lazy? Here's a personal project I'm working on for one of my boys. This quilt started out with a 5" charm pack of fabrics with a holiday look.
The charms were red, green, blue, and cream with bits of gold for a little dazzle. I quickly cut more 5" charms in coordinating fabrics from my stash - nice and scrappy. No pressure. No worries about exact color matching. Just fun and simple sewing.
Now that my top is sewn in a Nine Patch sort of way, I'm quilting it just as simply with row after row of medium sized swirls in a variegated thread. Easy, relaxed, and lazy. I'm liking it. I'll try to get a photo of the whole quilt when it's complete. What's under your needle today?

I really understand the need to go for a quilt where planning and thinking can be kept to a minimum ☺ It's good to just sew sometimes!
