I hope you aren't sick of me showing off my color scrap quilts but I can't help it.  I think I mastered the whole mitered corners and easy binding.  Flannel is the way to go with making it wrap around for the binding and I used this easy tutorial to machine sew the corners.  Can you tell I avoid hand sewing at all costs?

These are some easy quilts!  I love using my scraps and not worrying about matching and just throwing it all together.  I always have a period where I worry that it will look wrong or that I am using too much of something,  but in the end I like it.

Anne held this up for me outside in the grass.  It was spitting snow flurries.  She is a good sport my little middle child.  I had to crop out her poor little face since it was so cold out there and she was freezing.  I had these visions of a great outdoor photoshop but it was terrible out there.   Again with all the indoor shots except this last one.  Spring is coming soon I hope!!
