I'm So Excited! And I Just Can't Hide It!

So I was thinking about how to get motivated to finish twin quilt number 2. One thing I have figured out about myself is that I don't like to do the same thing twice. If I do, I usually change something about it because it kind of bores me to repeat things. This appears to be especially true for quilting because I have so many ideas that I don't want to repeat something when I have ideas for so many other things to try. Well, I had planned on making twin quilt number 2 exactly like number one, but that didn't work. So I found a different plan that makes them look the same but it's done in a different way which helps keep me motivated. I had also thought about changing the solid color on it to blue since it was for a boy, but changed my mind. Well, I started dragging again (and they will be here next week so dragging is not an option!) so I decided to think about the back because I still have to do that as well. Oh my! I had an idea. Check it out!

I'm going to do the back in blue with a few granny squares in the leftover fabric. Okay, I can guarantee you still don't totally get it yet. That block you're looking at? I made it with 5" squares...it's a 19.5 inch block!!!! I've already got an idea for how I'm going to do it but I want to leave it a bit of a surprise. It will really end up being a reversible quilt and I really think I'm going to like the back better!
I also hit out local library a couple of hours ago and came across some crafty goodies to peruse later!
