Are you tired of this yet? I have this much sewn together.
I decided to eliminate the more pastel blocks.
Then I went hunting and found some more orphan blocks that may work.
That yellow one got eliminated pretty quickly.
So I’m still puzzling this out.
Have a good day
I’m having a hard time deciding how to lay these out.
Maybe I need to figure out the big blocks first and then fill in.
Anyway, progress is slow. Have a good day
I’ve been casting about for the next project to focus on and came across this pile of vintage blocks again.
This is the biggest piece and well pieced.
However, not all bits are well done.
Hence the disassembly.
Have a great day
A few weeks ago, I found this quilt top on Facebook marketplace.
I had no business buying it, but I did anyway. As you can see, it’s pretty rough. But so much work went into this.
The intricacy of the blocks is amazing. All hand done too.
I’m not sure when I will get around to this, but I had to rescue it.
Have a great day
Thank you all for your kind comments and mostly, for your prayers. I feel like I’m still trying to find my footing. But I’m holding on to Jesus, and I know He’s holding onto me.
Mr. Wonderful and I are both home from our mothers’ memorials. He went to Kansas and I went to Wisconsin. We are definitely still in recovery mode.
Anyone else remember this?
Another puzzle, sadly missing several pieces.
Yep.
This was a great read.
Have a great day
It’s done, and the wedding isn’t until September.
I did know that I would see the happy couple while in Wisconsin for my mom’s memorial though, so I decided to finish it early.
It’s a simple quilt, but it’s huge.
I bound it by machine as I knew my hands couldn’t take all that hand stitching.
I can’t get a full photo, but this is four and a half out of seven rows.
Have a great day
I thought I’d share this again, since it was the inspiration for the quilt I’ll be sharing tomorrow. Enjoy.

Red/black/white week is coming to an end! This certainly was a fast finish! Sometimes, that is just what you need for a little motivational boost.
All the top fabrics came from my stash, but I did purchase the backing since I couldn’t find anything at home that I liked.
I used Candy Apple Red Glide thread in both the top and the bobbin.
The above pictures were taken before washing. The rest are after.
It crinkled up nicely! I love the texture from the quilting.
I hope the happy couple likes it!
I feel a sense of connection with the maker of this vintage top. When nothing seems to fit and make sense, stitch anyway.
