I pretty much immediately started quilting again. Immediately as in, I pulled out some strips I'd cut down from the scraps of previous projects, started sewing them together and didn't stop until I had a quilt top done. *
(forgive the crappy photography - just bought a cheapo camera to tide me over)I'd wanted to do a Stacked Coins quilt for a while, and had sketched out the basics a while back in my quilt notebook. So I already had a pattern, most of the strips, and even a couple yards of the orange fabric that I'd picked up cheap at the Fabric Depot summer sale back in the day. Stashes are good! I love my stash! =) The only thing I had to buy new was the binding, I am waaaay too lazy to make binding myself.
The plan was to give this one as a gift for one of the many new babies in my world. But in my haste to make something fast, I made a several mistakes.... one would be okay, two... is pushing it but after three I didn't feel good about giving it as a gift anymore. Not gonna point the mistakes out to you, but trust me, they're there.
Here she is, I'm calling her "Orange You Glad" - Orange you glad to be home, orange you glad to be quilting again, orange you glad that you have a bright orange quilt to cuddle up in? And the answer is yes. Yes I am!
* Well, there were potty breaks. ;)

It looks great and you should keep the first one in this new year for yourself. I can't see any mistakes from here, I see a girl getting back into the groove of creating.
Very nice!! And dang you're fast!
the baby will never notice the mistakes! ;) it sounds like you enjoyed the process though, and that's what counts.
Is excellent! Was happy to see it grow up under our roof!
Wow, it's beautiful!
A fun quilt and the title is great!!
Welcome back.
