the evening crafty

Are you tired of my crafty posts yet? I wouldn't have posted this except that I thought it was pretty cool and I thought of carrieb while I was doing it so I wanted to show it off. I figure she'll like it even if no one else does.

I whipped this up for Evelyn this afternoon. It's really cute and fun, and is also the first quilt block I've ever made all on my own... though I suppose it's not exactly a quilt block since it is not a quilt. My seams lined up pretty well for a newbie, I think, but there are a couple that are off. Oh well! They're just bits of flannel from my scrap pile--I think I should probably have made the middle blue instead of yellow but oh well. Evelyn will be getting yet another pony (M promises her ponies all the time) because she lunged at it while I was showing it off to M this evening, and attacked it with vigorous joy. I think she likes all the colors. :)

Maybe I'm a closet quilter after all.. maybe one day. :) I just dread all the fiddlyness and all the mess and all the expensive fabric purchases.
