Elise's Quilt

No, I haven't forgotten Elise's quilt. The top is sewn together. Now I will add a wide border of the flowers. It's really coming together.

A New Challenge

Last Saturday was quilting-with-friends day, so I started to work on my challenge quilt for next fall.
Each block will start out 5 inches by 8. More will be added later to make 10 inch squares. I'm not sure how this one will end up, but it is a challenge to choose different fabrics for each block, cut the tiny pieces, sew them together, and press them flat to the exact dimensions required. In a change from my other quilts, every block in this project will be different. It is also fun to work with a completely different color palette.
