Tumbling Rubies - progress!

I started working on my Tumbling Rubies quilt back at the beginning of August with the help of my beautiful niece - she helped me cut the fabric on my Accuquilt as well as helped pick out the first few rows of fabric.  Then came along Baby B and most of my sewing came to a grinding halt.  Thankfully I've been able to get a little bit more of the quilt done.

All the tumblers lined up and a few extra fat eighths that I still had left to cut a few weeks ago.

My kitchen table being used as a design board - I am HORRIBLE at trying to attempt a 'random' pattern but I was trying to get into the spirit of it as I was laying it all out.

Some of the rows are done - I messed up on some of my random'ness and I have a few tumblers that I feel are too close together and its driving me bonkers - but that might just be my OCD coming through!  What can I say...I like a set pattern.  Don't get me wrong I love love love the look of a completely random quilt top I just suck at laying everything out so its all random (which sounds like an oxymoron!).

Hopefully I can tackle the rest of this quilt soon - its so lovely and I can't wait to see it all completed.

Day #5 of Blogtoberfest done!!  Should I admit that I have a list of stuff written down near my computer that I want to blog about this month so I don't have an excuse to not blog?!
