Next step

The quilt is on it's final round. Just have corners to do. 24 more blocks and then I can start on my other projects.

Once this is done, I have a patriot quilt to do as well as 3 baby blankets and some table placemats. Most to be done before Christmas. After Christmas I can start doing the backing for this quilt. I am really happy with the way this quilt is taking shape.

Round 1 done

Yeah!!! Done with this round and ready to move onto the next one. I have a friend who doesn't quilt and doesn't want to learn because she just likes projects that she can get done quickly. To me a great deal of joy is lost if all we want to do is finish and don't take joy and pride in the process. Generally I can give things I have spent a great deal of time on without a qualm because for me it is all about the process.

I can't get far enough away to get the whole thing in on the camera, but this gives a good idea of how it is going.

October already?

I can't believe this year will be coming to a close in 3 short months. Where did the time go.

Yesterday I dropped off my Cathedral Window quilt 'X marks the spot' for a local quilt show. This was my first project. You know the saying about 'stepping in where angels fear to tread'. That is me sometimes. It is entirely hand pieced. The background is a blue batik. I'll have to take a close up of it so you can see the individual blocks when I get it back.
Making good progress on nieces quilt. Will post an updated picture of it sometime soon.
