Quilting

Yeah, but not for Christmas ... this year! So this is not a good tip if you are looking for a quick to craft item for next week, in which case I'd try a scarf out of bulky yarn (there are some ideas on Purl Bee)

My quilting skills are minimal, in fact consist of a lot of looking at other quilting blogs and loving the color combinations and thinking I wish I had the time to spend on a big project like that. Not to mention the long overdue quilt project that is already on deck (sorry, sis!)

I liked this post "how to calculate quilt math" because it is thorough, does the math, but is not hard to follow. And check out her colors and quilts - yum.
