Okay, now I have crossed 5 things off my original January 2008 WIP list, but I also added 1. . . I know I’m not suppose to be thinking finish 2 and then add 1 to the WIP list (that’s my friend Cindy’s rationale for the year); but I have a really good reason for adding another one to my WIP list. (*Really,* I do!) I have always liked the quilt, Oklahoma Backroads, on Bonnie’s site and since that’s where I’m moving, I *need* to add to it my list, right? I’m not “officially” going to start it, I’m just purposely cutting up scraps and setting them aside to make it after I move. LOL

I finished this up last night and just got it ironed and the picture taken. I got the block pattern, Happy Scrappy Houses from Bonnie @ Quiltville. I wanted to make a small wallhanging with words about standing out from the crowd fused on the borders. Two of the houses are different than the “crowd” — one is a *little* different and one is *totally* different.

When I get back to this one, I’m going to fuse the words in the borders, hand quilt it, and make a piped binding.
