Birthday Memory Quilt


Here are the squares we collected for Berdena's 90th bday Memory Quilt. (Of course, she turns 91 in November, but you know how it goes...getting folks to finish their square is like herding cats). There are still two blocks on the way (supposedly), and then i will make a dedication block to have an equal number of squares. She wants a wall hanging, with two sides, so she can flip it over from time to time...so i will have 16 on front and 16 on back.(she has very limited wall space, and doesnt want it to go on her bed). I purchased a dark blue batik for the sashing...so im almost ready to get started on it.
We had a luncheon yesterday with the family, so Berdena brought out her squares to share with them...thats how i was finally able to get this shot :) She has been taking them everywhere with her to share with friends and family, but she is anxious to see them sewn together, so now they are in my possession. Stay tuned for updates!
In the meantime, here is a shot of Jordyn enjoying all the yummy desserts the family made!

Those blocks are playing very nicely together! When lots of different people make blocks it is usually quite obvious. These wil be easy to make up into something gorgeous. (By the way, doesn't Jordyn look like her Dad in that photo!)
