Quilt for Sis

I purchased Jen Kingwell's pattern WILD RIDE recently.  I really enjoyed making the block, so it didn't take long to make 48 blocks to put a quilt together.  I finished the last block today.  Now, I have it laid out to assess any blocks that I need to move around.  When I'm happy with it, I'll be sewing it together and finishing it up for my sister. We are her care takers, she has been diagnosed with Alzheimers.

Most of this fabric was from her fabric stash, as she was a quilter also.  She loves all the colors in the quilt.

I will probably need to add some borders because we intend to use it on her bed. I hope it will brighten her days.

Fresh New Fat Quarters

OOOO I just couldn't resist a little new fabric today.  One of our local shops was having a huge Fat Quarter sale, $2 a fat quarter!
Now , who can resist that?  I am just surprised I only bought 12 .  LOL

Almost March!!! Oh MY!!!

Just a little peek of what I have been working on.....

Wild Ride by Jen Kingwell

I have been busy. Really, I have!  I am almost caught up with the Moda Blockhead sew along.

I have another two blocks completed on my Jen Kingwell sew along.... as soon as my Blockheads are caught up, I will be back to the Jen Kingwell sew along.  LOL . always something to do.  Hope you are all working on something you enjoy.

there was progress on this as well.  So many quilts, so little time.  (big sigh)
