A Lap Quilt for Me! (Mascoutah, IL)

Squirrel approves!
We are in Mascoutah, IL visiting with my brother.  We are only 30 minutes east of St. Louis, but we are back in a campground with 30 amps.  We need 50 amps to run our motorhome's electronics like air conditioning.  That means no ironing for now.  And no ironing means I won't be doing a lot of  sewing.  I managed to sew all the blocks into rows and iron before we left Paducah.  At least, I can sew them together while we are here.

This is one of my UFO's I have been carrying it around with us for the last 2 years.  I always wanted my own lap quilt and this one is going to be mine.  All mine.  Well, most of the time.  When I can talk the cats into letting me use it.

I have been a big fan of Laurel Burch for many years.  The jewel colors draw me to them every time I see her fabric in a store.  I cannot walk away... must buy.....muuuust buy.  Yep, I have a lot of Laurel Burch's material.  I better start using it.

Anyway, this pattern is called Fractions.  I think the material is perfect for the pattern.  Now that I have started working on MY quilt, I can hardly wait to finish it.

How about for you?  Do you have a large stash from one designer?  Or maybe it is a color? Or a theme?
