i finished this quilt top about a week ago, and had hopes of quilting it last weekend, but hurricane ike moved in and left us without power for 4 days. i knew it would be a crazy weekend with the storm coming, but i naively thought we wouldn't lose power and i'd be able to sit at home with nothing else to do but quilt...it ended up being a peaceful machine-free(no tv, computer, sewing machine) long weekend. fortunately, we had no damage to our home, and never lost our running water--we know we had it easy compared to others, and are grateful for our blessings.
now other projects are looming, and this one will be put on hold. it's for my daughter. she has been begging me to make her a new quilt. i'm not sure why i agreed to make another quilt for her. she has a dozen quilts, and only uses one, but she came to me with a stack of fabric and said, mom, i want these fabrics in my new quilt. I couldn't resist, and she did a fairly good job at picking out fabric (I did have to make a few substitutions and eliminations.)
oh it's beautiful! LoVe it.
