Eleanor Burns is fabulous,
but I just don't do quilt in a day.
I'm lucky if I make a quilt in a year.
A short while back,
I posted a quick pix of a few blocks I was working on.
Then Kathy asked, "So what are you making?"
Great question.
I follow quilt patterns about as well as I follow recipes.
I make them my own size and do the math myself.
I did find the pattern I am using though.
"Civil-War-ish."
This is Fons and Porter June 2014 issue.
My blocks are a little smaller then what they call for,
but I'm making the same pattern (design.)
That's good for me.
It takes me so long to make it through a quilt,
I don't really think about it until I'm ready to put it together.
My reason for quilting isn't because we need more blankets for winter,
and I don't need instant gratification
so I'm not really worried about getting one finished in a day.
It's my therapy.
I enjoy the process.
The methodic rhythm of cutting, piecing, and the needle and thread.
I usually have one machine quilt to work on
and one hand project to work on.
I'm still working on the Cathedral Window by hand.
About 1/3 of it is one big piece and the rest in strips
so it's getting there.
This one is my machine quilt.
It too will get there eventually:)
Does anybody else quilt this way?
Until next time,
Nimble Finger and Even Sticthes
