I got the top together and I’m feeling pleased with how it is turning out.

Can you believe this happened? Purely by chance!

I decided to quilt this using pattern boards.

Time to bind!

Have a great day!

Yes, more. I had 12 to do for September and October so I’m not done yet! This beautiful top was pieced by Val.

I love the backing.

Here is the pattern info.

And the panto I used. There is a link on my sidebar to a Urban Elementz, where I purchase all my pantographs. It is an affiliate link.

Here is another by Nadine.

I think I have three more to go. Have a great day!

I trimmed up these blocks and headed back to the design wall.

I just didn’t feel like making more so I set about trying to find a better way to make them stretch. Anneke was right about the stripes being too distracting. I think this gray will work better.

Of course, I ran out. So I picked another gray print to use for those last two corners.

Last weekend, I saw a quilt on Instagram by @janettebinder that looked like a perfect way to use my leftovers so I cut those out while I was in the sewing room.

Hopefully I can get this top together today and in the frame. It would be nice to have a finish this week.

Have a great day!

Remember these?

I’d forgotten them. Once I found them again, I made a few more. Then I decided to okay a bit to figure out how many I really need.

An alternate set might be good.

Too bright?

Too pastel?

Hmmmm….I think I’ll make a few more before I decide.

Have a great day!

Thanks for all your sweet comments yesterday. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one that has felt this way. As I mentioned, I’m still working away on my Grandmother’s Flower Garden. This kind of quilting isn’t quite as tedious as I thought it would be, but that is not to say it isn’t.

This texture is worth it though.

I have 30 of 86 flowers done. It is good mental therapy.

Have a great day!

I have felt restless all week. The only project I have really focused on has been quilting my Grandmother’s Flower Garden. I found these blocks and thought about putting them together.

I love the blocks. Do I want to make more?

I’ve stalled out on my leader/ender project lately. I did managed to make a few more four patch parts.

I looked at this project from my UFO list.

I just looked at it, didn’t actually do anything.

And I have five more QOVs to work on.

I had E2 and E3 here one day this week. I did some housework and stuff for church. But I just plain wasted a lot of time doing who knows what. I think I need some inspiration.

Perhaps today will bring just that. Have a good one!

If my people who belong to me will humbly pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land. (‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬ CEB)

I made this quilt in the week following 9/11. The verse was machine quilted into the red stripes.

I never want another 9/11.

But I miss the people we were on 9/12.
