Last week, I met up with a member of the Stitching Sisters QOV group. I handed her a few quilts I had quilted for the group and she handed off this box of tops to quilt!

There are 9 in there and I am hoping to get several done before I head out west later this month. The first is in the frame but I had no time to work on it yesterday.

And here is the next one I will be quilting.

Isn’t this stunning? This quilter did the loveliest job piecing this top. It lays nice and flat and she stay stitched the edges. This is a long armer’s dream!
Here I have it folded in half and pinned to my design wall so I can contemplate the quilting of it. I think this design and use of fabric is just brilliant. I want my quilting to do justice to this top.
I’m not sure how much I will get done today with my little helper here.

But really, how can you resist that face?
Linking up with DWMonday at Patchwork Times.


It’s a very different design and it is perfect for the fabric used. A stunning quilt indeed! Your helper is adorable! I would be hard press to concentrate on my work with a good looking guy like that beside me. Just huggable!
What a striking quilt. Your helper is very cute. Hope the two of you had fun.
Wow!! What a box That one you have laying over your machine is sure pretty….
Adorable little helper–makes a half hour job take only an hour, I’d guess.
Looks like you’re going to stay busy quilting ALL those Quilts of Valor…gorgeous. And that little happy face is so sweet!
Enjoy your week,

We can’t resist …that’s true !! 😉
The quilt is really awesome…..wow !!
Just love the shadow affect of the 2nd quilt. The quilter has an eye for color and design! Such a cutie of a helper – I would be so distracted!
Oh yes, time with a little one will always trump time quilting … at least in my book. 😉
That quilt top is really stunning, as you say. What an amazingly clever use of just a few fabrics. The maker must have sat down and thought about it for ages before cutting and piecing so accurately. And as for your little helper – as cute as ever!
