When you panic as a 23 year old, you drink. When you panic as 27 year old, you quilt. It's all part of that "older and wiser" thing.
I decided that I would use my ample free time to tackle a project I've always wanted to conquer: a quilt. Turns out, having 3 part time jobs does not give you a ton of free time, so it's slower going than anticipated, but I'm chugging along!
It helps that the manfriend has recently become enamored with "The Walking Dead." While I recognize that the show has an amazing production quality and it's not necessarily gory for the sake of being gory, I can't watch more than ten minute without having horrendous nightmares. But since we don't get to spend a lot of time together (despite living together) due to our schedules, I hate slinking off to the bedroom to read when he's home.
Unless the book is really, really good.
So, in order to spend time with the manfriend, and avoid the emotional scarring that comes from the zombie apocalypse, I quilt in the dining room while he watches his stories in the living room.
It turns out that semi-unemployment doesn't give me as much free time as I anticipated, so this took about a month, but! Here they are! Completed quilt squares:
Next - putting it all together.
