Arisaig and mini-quilt progress

so, I've cast on for Arisaig. So far it's great summer knitting as the yarn is quite thin and not wooly. It's knit on #1's and #2's, so it's going to take me forever with the limited time that I have for knitting. Mainly I knit at the end of the day while watching a bit of Red Sox. If it's been a rough day, I may not even have the energy to pick up these tiny little needles. I envisioned myself knitting this at the beach cottage in Maine, never mind that this year the beach cottage may or may not happen, that's how i envision it going down.
Here is a long term WIP. A mini log cabin knitted quilt. Inspired when the Whiplash challenge over at Whip-Up was about mini quilts. I took the Mason-Dixon info, and started with my leftover sock yarn and size 2 needles. Some friends sent me additional sock yarn as I quickly ran out. This will be one of those projects that will go on forever I imagine. Possibly I'll do them like granny squares and eventually sew together.
