It is amazing how much energy young folks have.... My daughter is 34 and pregnant. She has three friends she is making baby quilts for. She came on a Sunday at noon with the fabric. She cut strips. I sub cut.. we began to sew. On Monday We sewed ironed, pinned...and then repeated. We work well together. In my sewing room there are two separate spaces. She handled the cutting pinning ironing, I did the sewing. I didn't take a photo of the completed quilt as she is particular as to what makes it up on the net. She designed a simple modern motif using a dove gray, intense yellow acid green , and a very interesting avocado green/brown. It looks woven. In between, she worked at her job and I made supper. The top was done by 2 pm Monday.
I am lucky she chooses to quilt. She has a graphic design degree and her quilts are always one of kind.
It is the last day of February: almost time for the Prairie Moon block count... last day of February and I am over 170... My goal is 200 blocks done by sundown. Made 182
March 4rth Sunday... Sunny with the promise of some melting. In the quilt room I have been pounding out 1/2 square blue/whites... some 4 patches and a lot of 9 patches for the 9 patch challenge.
Being drawn back to the Alaskan quilt.
