April 19



Heres the string heart quilt for American Hero's. Took me a total of 2 days worth of sewing to get this far. I took this project with me to go see Lynn at her place and taught her how to make a couple of the blocks. Now she is hooked and looking for scraps of brights to make her own.


Anyways, this is what the center looks like. I have since added a light print strip around the outside of the whole thing and I am going to add either the red or the blue that I have up beside it.


Susan said how about a border like an attic window, 1 top and 1 side blue, 1 bottom 1 side red. I just might do that, It sounds really neat! So I hope to post the finished top tomorrow or day after.


Heres the center of Molly's pink and brown log cabin. Its the only photo I have right now since I am still finishing up the quilt. Just another row to do and then its off the frame and trim threads! Yippee! I am having so much fun being creative! And Molly Loves it! She got a sneak peak when I showed her this picture.
Hope everyone is doing well!
Prayers to all those who are grieving and suffering at Virginia Tech.

Robin, I love the AmHero top. How are you going to quilt it? Molly's quilt is beautiful, and I think the hearts and feathers are super!

Both quilts are beautiful. The AmHero quilt reminds me of a kaleidoscope. Molly's is such a pretty combo, did you hand quilt it?
