Eva's Quilt

This is a very special quilt that I gave to Eva today. I've been saving it for her until she could take care of it.

We found the blocks all crossstitched when her grandmother died. (Mamaw loved purple!) My mother, with some help from my aunt, put it together and made the quilt. My mother hand quilted it and did a beautiful job. I wish the quilting showed up more.

Blue and Yellow Sampler

Here's a close up of the fabric and how it will look with the border. I'm not a daisy person, but I fell in love with the dark blue and had to deal with it. At that point, I was scared not to get all my fabric at one place. I've moved on.
Top row

Notice this says 2003 BOM from Block Central. I printed it, bought the fabric, and just took it out last week. I love samplers. I don't get bored.

I got quite a bit done yesterday. I wanted to see how the first row of the blue and yellow quilt went together. It's always a miracle to me when seams meet like they should.

I also decided I'd get some extra paper patterns printed off and try to do one block a week (4 of the small squares) and I couldn't find the block!!! I was just sure it was a 12" square so I looked and looked on Quilter's Cache and couldn't find it. Then I remembered that I was looking for something other than a 12 inch and went up to the loft to measure it. 10 inch. So then it wasn't so hard. It's this one. I'm glad I went to link it because I had trouble finding it again this time!! Well, it's here, so I won't lose it now.

Pictures of the blue and yellow quilt that's together will be posted when Grace and Riley let me!

Paper piecing

Goodness! This was a lot of work. I like it, but if I'm going to do PP, I think I want something that looks more complicated! (but then that means it is more complicated.)
