My scrappy blocks

Look, I made more scrappy trip around the world blocks.....  These are soooo addictive!  Now I want to make these in every color combination I can imagine ( but of course I won't.... Not enough time....)  I am making four more blocks for this quilt, and adding a border, and it will be a great quilt for the couch.  Now I will need to make matching pillows- and maybe a new table runner as well.....

And I finished my bug bag, and the little bag for my "sewing bits 'n bobs".  These two have been living at the shop for a couple of weeks, but now the pattern is sold out, so I brought them home yesterday.  I am looking forward to using them both at our quilt meeting in Fjellquilten on Tuesday.
Today I hope to do a bit of sewing.  The Norwegian Quilt Association's annual meeting and show is coming up in March, and our shop will have a booth there, so I have lots of samples to make.... It's just us girls at home this weekend though, Svein and the boys are away on ski races until tomorrow night, so I won't feel bad if I sew ALL DAY.  Kristine is sleeping in, then she'll be reading and knitting the rest of the day I think...  Yesterday her class was in Trondheim at big "Education Fair" where all the major universities and colleges were represented.  She has already decided on the University of Oslo, but brought home a lot of catalogs, so  I guess she'll be reading about a few other schools as well, and see if she wants to change her "Plan B".
Have a wonderful day, and thank you for stopping by!
