Finally! I started this quilt almost a year ago. Of course, I've worked on other projects in the mean time. However, many hours have been spent cutting and sewing strips into squares, squares to rows, and rows together. Last Saturday I made the final four top-stitched seams around the edges.
I'll tell you a little about quilting day last Saturday. I was the hostess this month. On Friday night I made all the preparations, cooked some food, made the ice tea, and got the tables set up (with help from Alan). Just as all this work finished up, a terrible storm went through our area. Really scary! The lights went out and some large tree branches fell in our front yard. No power for 45 hours! Quilting day got moved to Carol's (Thank you, Carol), and I got my quilt finished.
