From the Rabbit Hole

I'm popping out of the rabbit hole for a quick post on what I've been working on this week.

I am making a lattice quilt for this year's Hands2Help charity quilt challenge, using the Nine Patch Lattice Quilt tutorial at Oh, Fransson!.  I decided to make it a little bit bigger though, so it should be twin size instead of lap.

All my nine patches are made and I'm in the process of trimming them.  Pretty funky, no?

The background neutral is a tan.  I don't remember the exact name of the color, but it's one of about a half dozen similar "tans" I bought a few months ago when I was making a different quilt.  Downside of buying fabric online: Things don't always look like they do on your screen.  Upside:  More fabric to use later!

I also made a couple of string blocks for a String Block Challenge at the String Thing Along blog.  The idea was to use some "ugly" fabrics to make a block that will go into a charity quilt Brenda will be quilting.  I don't think all of these fabrics are ugly, but I did try to use a few less loved bits.

I don't know about you, but with everything else to keep up with and the holiday tomorrow, I'm bushed!

This was our pet rabbit, Thumper - such a sweet bunny!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a Happy Easter!
