This is what ive been working on for the last few days, which is why its been kind of quiet around here...
Jordyn's great grandma Berdena turned 90 in November 2007 (thats right...im a little behind), and these quilt squares were sent to her from family and friends. After her birthday, she held on to the blocks for about a year to show off to folks, but they were given to me last year in September. I was waiting for a few squares from folks, but alas, life got too hectic for them, so i finally made them instead. Anyways, i really want to finish this project, so i set a deadline for myself...Mother's Day. Ive really been cranking along, and now i have the quilt sandwiched and ready for quilting. Here is the tough part...how to quilt it! It has a front and back (per Berdena's request), and i lined them up as best as i could, but since none of the blocks are totally square, im sure they arent perfect...so stitch in the ditch would be tough. Also, one side of the quilt has photographs on it, so i cant really quilt inside those either. Suggestions are totally welcome...but remember, im machine quilting it(for time reasons), and i cant FMQ on my machine...so it has to be something simple. I think the sashing really pulls the squares together, and i used the easy the sashing method from this site. I ended up making 8 blocks for the quilt...some i posted earlier, but these three were the lastest ones...
So, thats about it over here! Oh, the drawing for my 200th post giveaway will be tomorrow...so stay tuned! :)
Happy Sunday!
