slowly things get done

This is block number one of a quilt I'm making for my daughter -- Block #3 of Vintage Valentine by Verna Mosquera. It was designed to be done in shades of pink and off-white/tan, but MY daughter wants plumy purples and sagey greens . . . I think I started this in January?
On to block #6 (doing the vertical striped background ones first).

The top is done and ready for quilting -- based on Crabapple Hill's "Which Witch's Boot", it's reduced in size, a few colors changed, the blocks are rearranged, and the outside border is deleted. I'm delighted!

The Very Bright Quilt, phase 2 complete

Well, we think it is phase 2. The center blocks are complete and attached to one another. Now, Lisa is sewing together a million and a half triangles for a border. And here is the quilt as it looks today - the most featured quilt thus far on our blog.

On January 7th, there were only two rows.

On February 19th, there were four rows.

And now there are seven rows, and it is ready for a border.

The Very Bright Quilt, Continued

Lisa continued working on the Very Bright Quilt, originally introduced on this blog on January 7th. Yesterday, we watched it grow again, and <drum roll> here it is!!

We thought it looked like stained glass with the sun shining through it.

A finished project -- Noel's birthday apron.

The Very Bright Quilt

Lisa worked on assembling the blocks for her Very Bright Quilt, which is destined to live in the cabin at Tahoe. Here are the first two rows, trimmed and assembled. Woo - Hoo!!
