Pink.

If you know me, you know that pink is not my color of choice. Actually, it's probably my least favorite color. That being said, and not surprisingly, my daughter loves the color.
She picked out the color of her room. She helped me select the fabric for the valances. She is all girl. Here is her room in all of its pepto-bismol glory.
I also made her a quilt from remnants from the knot dress. It was coming along beautifully until it was actually time to quilt it. It's kind of a a mish-mash of lines, Xs, and Ys. I should take a quilting class.

The Quilt.

I am happy to say that I have knocked a few projects off of my 2009 list already:

• finished the pompom hat for my sister (didn't take pictures! DUH!)

• finished the fingerless gloves for my husband; when my cousin asked me what I was making, and I told her fingerless gloves, she asked me if Joe planned on becoming homeless any time soon. *snicker*
• finished the patchwork quilt for sister #2.

This is about the quilt. It was quite simple to stitch together. It was only squares, nothing complicated. I like the way it turned out. I like the way totally non-matching fabrics seems to work well together in quilt-form. I used up a lot of scraps, and even used two of my husband's shirts that don't fit him anymore. (They're too big...don't even get me started on that...)

I am eager to start on another quilt; perhaps some sort of color scheme. Lately I'm enjoying the pale blue/white/red combo.

Oh, my sister seemed to like it. It is currently draped over her living room love seat. I will leave with a sampling of my favorite squares:
