I am having the best time taking a zillion small pieces of fabric and making the flower blocks for my baby quilt. The elephants in the center of the flower are the best. There are seven full flowers like the one pictured and four half flowers for the top and bottom edges of the quilt. This has been fun - I am doing many Y-seams on my Bernina for these flower blocks, and the points of the petals have come out quite crisp. The colors are working out great, I really like the Moda Sunkissed fabric line. The light grey surrounding the flowers is the Misty Grey solid from Moda, it was a bit challenging to find this solid shade online.  And the elephants speak for themselves, they are too fun. Stay tuned and happy quilting! Susan

Well, Ginger's quilt is back in Colorado, beautifully quilted and bound by Jennet. Kitty approves of the finished product, so much so that he made it his favorite sleeping spot on Friday afternoon. Here is kitty having a rest on Ginger's quilt while it was laying across the back of the couch ... I don't know what it is about Maine Coon cats, but they are always ready for an impromptu photo shoot! This quilt looks so much prettier with the texture added by the batting and the quilting pattern, the extra dimension took me by surprise!  Combine that texture with such fabulous fabrics and you really get the 'wow' factor.  Here's a look at the front and the back, along with my husband's tennis shoes as he is heading out for a run.  Maybe Ginger won't like this quilt and will ask me to take it back... not! Here's a look at the back, too, which was also fun to do. The black and white dot stripe matches the binding fabric. Well, that's all for this
