Soooooo close!

I caved and got a new cell yesterday, so I once again have easy pictures....
These are the blocks for my "pie pan quilt" I know they're really called kaleidascope blocks, but I think they look like pies...
I started this when I was preggers with my 3.5yo, so its been a while...
My quilting skills have definitely improved, so some of the earlier blocks were WAY wonky....
Luckily its a scrap quilt, so squaring did a lot to disguise the non-matchy seams....

above: unsquared

below: same block, squared.... isn't it purdy?

here's the stack of all 81* blocks, squared and ready to go


and here's a shot of everything I cut off in the squaring process... it's enough to more than fill a 1/2 gallon milk container, I think....

OH! and last week I got my hands on a copy of "Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day."

LOVE IT!!! totally recommend purchasing a copy!

here's a caramel pecan sticky bun made with the brioche dough.

(that's D's finger, reaching for it, he couldn't wait for me to take the pic)

*story to come when I finish this quilt!)
