I think of this quilt as the Easter quilt. I also think of this as Grandma’s magnum opus quilt. She did her finest work here and was justifiably proud of this quilt. The work here is exceptionally fine. This piece is large, measuring approx 72″ x 90″, making it difficult to get a good picture. I took this one from the second story of the kids clubhouse looking down!

It ended up in my husband’s hands due to the fact that purple has always been his favorite color. Here are closeups of the individual blocks. Take a journey with me through the life of Jesus as told by the blocks of this beautiful old quilt:

Dear Jesus,

Thank you for coming to a lost a broken and broken world  to live with us. Thank you for dying on the cross and rising again that one day, we might live with you in heaven.  Amen.

Until next time

You all know how much I love thrifting! I found a bag of blocks last week and had to buy it just to see what was inside.

Such an interesting block.

I also got about three yards of this batik.

I’m not sure what they will become yet. I know I’ll use them somewhere.

Have a great day!

I needed another small piece to use up the batting and backing in the frame. I found some already pieced HSTs in a bin.

Oh, yes! I think I like this!

That’s better! Still extra batting, but the backing is pretty much used up. 🙃

Have a great day!

I was able to attend this show over the weekend. It was very nice. It was quite crowded , so my photos aren’t the best. But I still saw many quilts worth sharing. Info for each quilt follows.

I’ll share more in upcoming posts. Have a great day!

I had extra batting and backing at the end of a quilt I’d quilted. So I decided to make a little something to use it up. I grabbed this charm pack that I’ve had for ages.

And started cutting. The largest squares will finish at four inches.

Time to sew some tiny hourglass blocks.

Baby steps….. Have a great day!

I cut the pieces for the additional blocks needed, but I changed my mind on the layout.

I have a hard time making the exact same quilt twice!

This is where I’m headed at the moment.

Have a great day!

I made this quilt for AccuQuilt when they came out with the Mill and Star BOB die.

Since the quilt was going to be sent to them, I cut out extra blocks to make one for myself. Apparently, I had a case of brain fog that day. I got my pieces home to Michigan and left the die in Arizona.

When I got them out to work on, I had only cut enough pieces for ten blocks. Ugh. So they got put away.

I finally got around to cutting out more blocks, but I changed my mind on the layout.

BTW, I forgot to include the link to this pattern in my post yesterday.

Also, if you follow my blog via Bloglovin’, don’t leave a comment there! I probably won’t see it.

Have a great day!

Did you see this? This finish is from last summer, but the pattern was just released! It is free on the AQ website.

My snuggle babies!

Mr. Wonderful is the best baker!

As a coffee drinker, I thought this was hilarious!

A good word.

The mister has been working on our landscaping. I love my cactus garden.

Have a great day!
