Adam's quilt


The star quilt for Adam's wife is back from the Quilter's.
It really looks nice, now it is ready for binding. I was gifted with some star blocks that his great grandmother had pieced and want to hand applique them on the back. I will have to get busy, so it will be done by Feb. 18.

New year challenge

Our guild received a challenge from the local Relay for Life to make blocks for a Survivor quilt to be given at the Relay event this year.
Needless to say, this was met with a great deal of enthusiasm. Not only guild members, but friendsand family expressed interest in participating in this project. It should be easy to get enough for more than one quilt. Maybe there will even be enough for a raffle quilt for this good cause.
Now the challenge is to find the 'perfect' block and get it done.
I hope to have some pictures to put up soon of these blocks as they are constructed and the finished quilt(s).
