Almost a quilt top

     I've made significant progress on Antonio's Urban Chic quilt top.  Here's a sneak peek:

I'm thinking an aqua border with a black and gray polka dot binding.
     One thing I wish I had done differently is fussy cut the center panels of the Alexander Henry black and grey geometric fabric.  You can see the one square where I did fussy cut (the one with the circle perfectly centered), which happened to be the one that I cut last.
     I added one more column of blocks to make the quilt a little wider.  I'm pleased with how this quilt turned out- appropriate for a 9 year-old boy, but not too juvenile that he'll outgrow it.

Pajama pant fail

     I wanted to wear them.  I wanted to love them.  I wanted to lounge in them all day whilst my little one naps and plays.  I wanted to make a pair for every day of the week.  But McCall's 3019 does me no favors. :(
     What went wrong?  The waist was too high, the stride (a polite way of saying the crotch) a little  long, and too much fabric floating around the rear since I'm flat as a pancake.  The upshot of it all is the pants do not flatter.
     So it's back to quilting.  I've started Antonio's Urban Chic quilt.  He wanted a simple, modern design with a neutral palette- black, gray, yellow, white.  I threw in a little aqua to make it pop.

     I cut off the selvedges so I can't name all the fabrics.  There are a few Art Gallery fabrics, a Joel Dewberry, and a couple whose provenance I don't know.  The quilt will be a little bigger than called for (seven blocks across and seven down).  I'll need to buy a few more prints for the center pieces.
     I was hoping to find photos of Urban Chic quilts that others have made.  A Google search pretty much only turns up the quilts on the Artichoke Collection site.  Anyone out there have any links?
