Ever since I made this block for one of the Bees of my FB group 'Desi Quilters', I've been wanting to do a full quilt in those colours (yes, orange and pink, don't laugh) and that pattern (Denyse Schmidt's Drunk love in a log cabin, again, don't laugh).
I am just looking at the dates realizing this was made exactly a year back.. in September 2012 ! O.M.G. !! Is it too late to blog about it?

Therefore the name. Not bad I think. The quilt, not the name. Actually the name too. Er..it's pretty late in the night and I'm beginning to not make much sense, so I better let the pics do the talking.
