Motivation Needed

With the baby only a couple weeks away everything is just.....slower.  So Amy's One Thing; One Week Challenge came at the perfect time.  I have one last quilt I would like to get done before she comes.  It's for my best friend from college.

This is my little guy at her apartment when we visited her in Kansas City last summer.  (Holy Cow he's grown a lot since then).  If you'll notice- in the background she's got zebra print chairs.  That's right.  Brit's got some of the coolest modern and eclectic accessories, so I wanted to make a quilt that fit her style.

I went with the red, white and black combo with a little zebra print of my own. The pattern is a little twist on a classic- it's a Triple Irish Chain.

My goal was to get all of the squares cut out- happily, I got going and even got one of the blocks done.  What do you think?  Fun, huh.  I'm hoping to get the quilt top done by the end of the week.  Wish me luck.
