This is quilt block number 2, or the beginnings of it.  I’m not happy with my contrasting dark fabric selections.  You know what THAT means.  Yep.  MORE FABRIC$$.  

I’ve been bitten by the stitchin’ bug.  Since profiling Moni Briones of SewMoni in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, I’ve become a fan of sewing.  Moni’s teaching me how to make a quilt.  I’m doing a Log Cabin, a classic American quilt pattern.  I think I’ve got my first block down.  
I can’t stop buying fabric.  Why can’t I do anything in moderation?
