When You Have Some Extra Time
This beautiful quilt is complete, and ready to be mailed. It's a Quilt of Valor, and the most time consuming quilt I've ever made (up to this point.) Each 6" block (center square and framing triangles - 29 to 32 pieces) took an hour to assemble (that's not cutting, fixing or building into a strip...) I made it as a quilt-as-you-go, and the instructions are on my How-To pages. There were days I was ready to toss my sewing machines, and by the end, I was really done with all of it. But now, I don't think of the frustrations, the imperfections, the mistake I made that effected several rows of the finished quilt.
Now it's done, and I am thinking of the next thing I want to create.
I began with blocks (5" here)
Laid them out and added triangles
Until patterns emerged
Built out strips of blocks
Then began quilting a corner
And adding the next strip to be quilted
So that slowly but surely
A quilt was emerging
And finally, it was finished
And from a distance, it's beautiful
And ready to go to it's recipient
And the instructions are in my 'How-To'

Denise Oberlies. I am trying every way I can manage. I had sent a Text Message to you when I saw your Facebook post about items belonging to a CitruscRidge neighbors son (JB)
I hope you will reply/ contact me; especially about the E.B. photos. Jimpat4649 at Yahoo
