Good Morning Quilters!
Yesterday was Father’s Day, and also our wedding anniversary. We have been married 62 years! It seems impossible, but there it is. June 15, 1963……..to June 15, 2025…….and as in the story books, we have lived happily ever after. I am so blessed.
Quiltwise, I have had another productive week. First, the Cousin’s Walk appliqué quilt was worked on again, and I made progress on finishing up one of the border corners. Here is a picture of my progress…..a yellow flower to sew down, and another leaf to add on the opposite side of the vine, and this part will be finished. There is one more border corner to work on.
Re the design wall, I finished the first six rows of the Indigo/Shirting Jane Stickle blocks, and took them off the wall. I am excited to get the final seven rows up there to see what blocks I am missing. Here the six rows are before I put them away.
But the log cabin blocks were stacked on the floor, staring at me. So, I put the log cabin blocks up, and here is a picture of the design wall now:
The block arrangement is called Barn Raising, and I found I needed two more blocks to finish the plan. So I made them, and am now sewing the blocks together into a quilt top. The blocks finish at 7.5 inches square, with the logs at 3/4 inch wide. Do you like a border around a log cabin quilt or not? I haven’t decided yet.
The little doll quilt (half the size of these blocks) has been moved to the “design floor” area near the design wall. It will be assembled next. So it was a good week, and I am happy.
What is happening in your quilt room? So many great projects going on at your house. I really enjoy reading your blogs and looking at your pictures. Thanks for participating in our Design Wall Monday Linky Party this last week. Join again below and show us “whatcha got”
