This is some of the fabric I got from Aunt Betty. When I chose the fabric, I wasn't really sure how anything would come together. There were fat quarters, large pieces of fabric, and a few pieces that were already cut out--some triangles, some strips, some squares. Unlike any of the other quilts I've done, I didn't draft it out and do careful calculations ahead of time. I just started sewing.
Here's how it ended up:
I really like it. It's one of my very favorite quilts that I have made. Ok, it's not finished yet, but still, I really like it. In fact, I think I'm going to keep it for myself. In terms of finishing it, I've asked Marty's mom to do the quilting with her long arm quilter.
I'm looking forward to the completely finished product.

You did all that piecing in one weekend? Wow! That's almost as impressive as the quilt itself. Almost, but not quite.
You're right! After all the one's you made for everyone else, it's time that you make one that stays with you. It is very lovely! Mom xoxoxo
Wow! What a work of art, and an impromptu one at that. I love it!
