National Quilting Day!!!

So pretty much everyone in the US knows today is St. Patrick's Day, but for quilters it is another holiday too.. National Quilting Day.  NQD occurs on the 3rd Saturday of March, so not always on 3/17.

Hubs and I celebrated today by going to a fabric sale and sewing....

Here are the fabrics we bought...

Some bright fun butterflies (the white behind it is Kona Cotton Snow.. bought that today too..)


Some fun polka dots....


A WILD Print that hubby liked....


And one more polka dot.. a big dot.. that the shop owner tossed in as a happy.... 


And here is what was worked on today...

I finished up the house blocks and started making them wonky... the excess fabric gets trimmed off when they are squared up...


And hubs finished up the baby quilt top he has been working on... 


All in all I would say it has been a good National Quilting Day here!
