Hello again blog world!

I feel Like it's been forever since I've even thought about blogging. I guess it really hasn't been that long though, but it has been kind of long. The reason? I was in a bad mood for all four non-blogging days and I was trying my best not to share my bad mood with others. I don't think I was very successful but at least I tried right? I think that every morning I got more grouchy than the last, I'm not sure why, but now I feel like a more pleasant person today and therefore I am here with you today!
So anyways, my little head has developed an obsession. Have you seen the quilts at Anthropologie? They are amazing, I can't stop thinking about them! I want one! Trouble is that I'm saving all the monies I can for school and so I can't really justify buying one when I already have a perfectly good bedspread. What I can justify is making a quilt similar to one at Anthro. Why can I justify it you ask? Well... because I would be learning valuable skills that would be useful my whole life, and it would satisfy my slightly un-natural need to always be working on a project or changing my bedroom in some way (which, I'm proud to say, I haven't done for a while despite all the sleepless nights thinking about a new paint job for my room).
OK. so now that we've all agreed that making a quilt seems like the most natural thing in the world for me to do, we have three other problems to address:
1) I don't know how to make a quilt.
But I don't see that as a huge problem, I'll figure that out as I go. (hopefully)
2) Where to get cute fabric?
Any suggestions from anyone? I think I'm going to look at fabric tonight.
3) What should the quilt look like?
Here are some examples of the ones I like...



So what do you think? Which one should I make (if any)? Let me know...
