I first saw Monica's photos on flickr, then I read her post. And I couldn't get it off my mind. I was hooked. Now I'm infected.
So I chose my fabrics
Started cutting
And made my first block
You know you want to join, so just do it now! It's weird, it's fun, and it'll bring a smile to your face!
p.s. if you were one of the winners of the connecting threads fat quarter sets and you haven't contacted me by Thursday, I'll be picking new winners at that point so make sure and email me at the email I provided in the previous post with your info asap!
Your block is awesome (especially love what you chose for background) I saw Monica's post, and now yours and I LOVE the quilt! Too funny. I sure hope that Ron Swanson (don't know the actor's name) is aware of what is happening in his honor!
Not sure I can do the QAL, but you better believe I will be following on Flickr!
Enjoy!

The block is really neat. I am totally out of the loop. I'll have to Google who Ron Swanson is.

Its KILLING me to cut squares instead of sew right now! I wish I had a little sewing room elf to take that part over and that darn job thing is really cramping my style too! Ive had my dear Ron on the brain all day!

Ahhh, I want to make this quilt, I really do, but I'm already doing the Mario quilt a long - I'm not sure two quilts with tiny squares is a good idea for my sanity LOL Your block looks fantastic!

hey Penny...making this quilt just re-enforces what I already know: you are a crazy woman! I can't believe you are making this, tho can't wait to see it finished. Hope to sew with you soon...

Yes! I'm in. So excited. Love that you've done blues, I'm afraid of stepping out of the grey/black colour way. Yours looks great!

You are one funny gal. I popped to your article on rose making from 09, I think. The way you described thrift store shopping with your husband - funny and cute! I love thrift shopping too.
BTW, loved your knit fabric roses!!! Can't wait to try them.
