On a related note:

 

My sewing machine broke

:(

 

The only thing I'd ever even made on that thing was a kilt.

Oh, how I hate kilts.

 

But, I got a new sewing machine for Christmas!

I <3 Brothers sewing machines so much.

(Incidentally, I may quilt too much....I was watching Howl's Moving Castle the other day and idly remarked to my friend, "Oh, look. Howl's bedspread is a traditional cathedral window comforter design....)

Happy nerding out over quilt blocks!
