WIP: Houndstooth Quilt

Houndstooth Quilt squares, WIP

Meet the squares that have taken over my life.  They look so innocent, don't they?  They're just tiny diagonal blocks, but I spent seven hours today making nine of those stacks, and I'm looking at another seven hours to make the rest of the diagonal blocks I need for my quilt.  On the plus side, they are damn fine looking squares.  I'm really excited about this quilt.  It's going to be gorgeous.  I got this really nice Kona cotton in espresso and cream, and I love the houndstooth pattern.  It's too big for a bag, but it will be perfect for a quilt.  I love houndstooth.

I am going to sell this on Etsy when I'm finished.  (*I will not keep this quilt.  I will not keep this quilt.  I will not keep this quilt.*)  Right now I'm estimating that it's going to cost somewhere in the $500 dollar range.  I will keep my blog updated as to my progress.

I'd love to be able to take custom quilt orders (maybe just one or two a month).  I think the houndstooth quilt would look amazing in unexpected colors.  Like aquamarine or raspberry.
