A Quilt in the Making

Anyone have a project they've been working on for years? Yeah, I have a couple of those. One of my first blog posts was about a quilting 'block of the month' class I was taking. That was last year. And guess what? I haven't even laid a finger on it since the class ended about this time last year. How did that happen? Taking care of two little boys happened.

Well, I finally put all the pieces together! Now all it needs is the outer border, quilting it and edging.
I learned to make flowers, prairie points, trees, baskets, log cabins and a lot of other stuff.
One of my favorite things about the quilt is the fabric. It is country vintage with chicken wire, flowers, gingham and plaids in bright fun colors.
Though I got a lot done, I am pretty sure I won't be getting any more work done on it until after the holidays. Until then it will sit in my closet, just hopefully not for another year!
