And it’s all in one piece!

There are 225 1 1/2” nine patches. Which is far short of the number of blocks in the challenge quilt.

This shows all the pieces I had left, mostly dark pieces. And I don’t have the stash or interest in cutting more without the die handy.

So I made as many as I could with what I had and decided to call it good enough.

The challenge quilt has borders which I may or may not add. But it won’t happen any time soon. This top currently measures 33 inches square. Here is a look at the vintage inspiration quilt.

It’s truly amazing! I do love those borders. I’ll think about it….later.

Have a great day!

While visiting my mother in love in Missouri, we pulled this quilt out of her closet. Isn’t it the most beautiful quilt you’ve ever seen?

It was made by her grandmother sometime around 1941. It is truly a masterpiece.

Willy loved it too.

The blocks are about 4 inches. The quilting is about 13 spi.

It has never been used.

Check out the corners!

We put it on her bed where she can use and enjoy it.

Isn’t that the loveliest thing?

Before I go, I wanted to remind you that this sale ends tonight at AccuQuilt .

Have a great day!

I think this is the last project that I kitted up before leaving Arizona last spring. It all fits so neatly in this box, I rather hated to mess it up!

I used a die to cut these pieces, but you can see the measurements below.

The prints are all Repro 30s fabrics. It won’t be a large quilt, possibly a throw size. I can’t remember how many pieces I cut. I think I will set it like this one.

In the short term, sewing each print rectangle to each solid one is a perfect leader/ender project.

Have a great day!

I have all my diamond blocks put together!

I love the piece that has two “Ws” in it.

I can’t say that I really need a table runner in these colors, but it is fun. it currently measures 13 by 45 inches.

Before I go, I want to share this amazing deal with you from AccuQuilt !

This is a great time to suck up on mats and accessories as well as that die that’s been on your wishlist. Remember to use the code shown above. This deal won’t last, so don’t wait!

Have a great day!

I love this little cactus light. If it’s on, you know I’m home in Arizona. I turn it off when I leave and on when I come home.

But before that happened, there was a long cross country trip! Here is Dora and Oscar.

This girl loves traveling in the RV!

Every time we stop, Willy tries to take over the driving. 😂

We had the most lovely visit with my mother in love in Missouri. Isn’t she beautiful?

After we left her house, we met up with Mr. Wonderful’s sister and BIL. They have an RV also and we enjoyed a wonderful trip to New Mexico with them.

Our first night was spent in Eagle Nest.

Then we moved on to Taos.

I particularly enjoyed a stop at Taos Pueblo. We had a very good tour guide.

This bridge straddles the Rio Grande.

After a few days, they went back to Kansas and we went west to Arizona.

It’s going to take a while to cleanup Dora and settle back in here so I’m not sewing yet. But I had lots of posts scheduled ahead of time so there will still be quilty content.

Have a great day!

Daughter #3 and SIL came for a visit.

Along with Daughter #1 and her fam.

Sadly, it was our last get together before we headed west. Games were played.

I even caught a couple fish!

The mister did as well.

Great memories were made though only a few photos were taken. I love my family!

Have a great day!

My daughters had this puzzle made for me many years ago. It’s only about 250 pieces so I brought it to do in Dora. The photo is from a quilt I made long ago. I don’t have room for puzzles bigger than this.

I’ve been enjoying these Madelines with my morning coffee. They came from Sam’s Club. They are the best I’ve had since we lived in France.

As a bonus, the container is the perfect size for these finished blocks!

Have a great day!

Remember that old song, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds? That’s what was going through my head while stitching this. I cut white half rectangles and stitched them up.

And these are my blocks. They will finish at 2 1/2” by 5”.

I haven’t decided how to set these yet, but I do like them!

Have a great day!

Remember these leftover bits?

I had the perfect die in my 5” Qube to use with them.

Ta daaa!

This little AccuQuilt GO! Me die cutter is perfect for use in Dora.

Stay tuned….

Have a great day!
