W.I.P, part 1

As if i did not have enough other projects whirling around in my head, i started this one last night. And i had to go and buy fabric to make it yesterday, even though i have lots of new fabric to make other things with. You see, a certain little someone here is about to have a birthday and he has been asking for a long time for a pirate quilt...so with about 2 weeks to go i decided to start one. He is a tough little man....so all the "aaargh" piratey stuff really thrills him. Should i be successful...there will be lots more blocks like this one all on a lovely bright blue background, Mitchie's favorite color.
