~What in the World?~


 Today I have fabric all over the house....... from snippets.....
to more end snippets......
   to a pile of labeled quilt pieces (this quilt is a bit of a challenge)......
 
 But the 9-patch blocks are done...
  
  as are the side scrappy borders.....
 
 and one of the middle four medallion pieces...
 
 
(but shhhhh......... - I am making a surprise for my mother.)  Will post a photo later on (maybe Monday) with the finish! :-)

Apparently today is "Visit your local Fabric Store" Day.  Hmmm........ nope.  I have sewing to do!  Happy Stay at Home and Sew Day!

~Remember This? Nothing like a FIVE YEAR RESOLUTION!~

I started this quilt January 11, 2009......... and finished it today,  January 11, 2014.   I don't think five years is too bad, do you?



Now, how long do think it will take me to machine quilt it?  And do you think Feathers are in order?  Crosshatching?   I can't decide - it might take another year or two to make up my mind!  Oh, good grief!
