It's time to introduce you to the changeling quilt top. I didn't make it, and I don't know who did. Say hello to Primrose, named for Primrose Farm, where Catherine's volunteering.

This is just a quick little entry for a quick little quilt. I'm going to make a few simple, easy lap-sized quilts for our living room, so we can discard a couple of old polyester blankets that have outlived their natural lifespan. I'm wanting to spend more time practicing my quilting, so having a few quilts that I'm keeping means I can practice my stitching on a non-critical project -- I have two coming up that are heavily dependent on the quality of the quilting stitches, and I needed some practice time.
Back in 2010, I fell in love with the dusty, soft reds and tans of French General's "Rouenneries" line, and picked up enough fabric to make a full quilt out of it, including the coordinating extra-wide backing fabric. Then, of course, 2010 ended on something other than -- shall we say -- a planned note, and the fabric stayed in a drawer for a number of years. I tinkered with it a little, but the idea didn't come to fruition, so I put my failed attempt back in the drawer with the rest of the fabric, and eventually the drawer, along with my other belongings, came to Portland.
I changed up the quilts page a bit recently to give some better insight to what's going on in my head over here. Drupal lets me be flexible with my content types, and some time ago I set up a content type for my quilts. If you look at http://domesticat.net/quilts you'll see my current works-in-progress are roughly ordered by state of completion. I thought I'd explain the terms; I get the impression sometimes that my friends think this process is really inscrutable, when it's not.
