It occurs to me that I have lots of older quilts which have never seen this blog, including this wallhanging I have hanging in my cube here at work that I look at every day.
This was made with a fat quarter bundle (I think) ages and ages ago. In the 90's, at least, since I remember the house I lived in when I made it. I did all my own machine quilting, and I remember using a tracing paper design over the star centers and borders that I tore away later; much of the rest is an eyeballed 1/4" from seams. One part of it I particularly love is the plaid border cut on the bias. I actually think the border print was something I found separately which just happened to match and was not intended to coordinate with the rest.
Guild is tonight and I will be showing off the finished (okay, no label or hanging sleeve yet) Gothic Windows donation. I'll post the photo that the guild takes as part of Show & Tell once they put it on their site. Over the weekend I did more quilting on Jacob's Ladder and more piecing of Spanish Treasure but have nothing really to show beyond what you've already seen.
Well at least you worked on something. I went to the show in NJ and then worked all day yesterday sorting and getting ready all the kiddo clothes and toys they have outgrown for the consignment sale.
