I started working on a quilt for our guest room today. I majorly underestimated how long it'll take me to finish it. I figured I might be able to get the entire top pieced today, but I only got 8 blocks finished (out of 56 total), working in parallel. I'm planning on doing half the blocks in this color scheme, and the other half with the colors reversed.

The blocks I made today turned out a little more boring than I'd hoped, but we'll just call them simple and understated instead :) At least they're pretty uniform in size and appearance. I have more exciting plans for our main bedroom quilt. So it looks like this project will occupy me for awhile. That's too bad, since I'd hoped to have it done in time for my mom's visit next weekend.

We haven't had any trick-or-treaters yet. Patrick even ran out and bought last-minute Halloween candy so we'd be prepared. I guess we'll have to eat it all ourselves.
