Today Emma and I went to the quilt shop to choose fabrics for a small quilt for her dolly "Little Emma". She chose some great fabrics, don't you think?

Below is a sneak peak of the small quilt I am making for the Four Seasons Quilt Swap: Winter. It has been slowly evolving, and I am happy with the end result. I just need to bind it, hopefully I can get that done tonight.

While at the quilt shop today, I also picked up the first month of the Second Saturday Sampler for the year. In January, you pay $5 for the fabric and directions for the first block. Each second Saturday of the following month, you bring your completed block to the shop, and they will give you the fabric and pattern for the next block. In the end, you will have 12 blocks for only $5.
There were 3 different color-ways to choose from , and I decided to go with the batik choice. I haven't made a full-size batik quilt, so it will be nice to have something a little different.
