A Huge Work in Progress

I have a ton of scraps and we need a new blanket on our bed, so I decided I should try my hand at quilting.  I think that cathedral quilts are so beautiful and perfect for using scraps.  So for the next forever, I'm going to be working on make our own.  I'm following the tutorials from Hyena in Petticoats and The Jilted Ballerina, since they both use a lot of pictures and I'm a very visual learner.  I'm hoping to get through one window a day or so (maybe less if I don't feel like sewing, gasp).

Here is what I had a week ago.  I've done a little more since then, but too lazy to take more pictures.

It is a lot easier than it looks, just a lot of ironing, which isn't so bad with my new iron.  The old started smelling electrical, if that makes any sense.

ps: I got my new camera.  Love it!  Now I have to learn how to edit them better.
