This is as far as I'll get in adding to the center for quite a while because the next 8 sets of instructions involve making basket blocks and elaborate pieced swag borders. So lots more piecing but I love how it's coming!
This week I'm gathering hand projects and some machine piecing projects together so I can easily work on them when I feel able--next Monday August 20, I'm having my right knee replaced. Five years ago I had the left replaced so I know what to expect. That's both a blessing and a curse! Not looking forward to this but it needs to be done so I can walk/exercise/live more easily. Wish me luck!
Be sure to check out Judy's blog for more inspiration!
Let's quilt!

Love it! I really like that lattice outer medalion section... I will have to file that away fro future use! Good luck with your knee surgery.
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning quilt. Good luck with surgery and recovery.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt, Barbara. Saying prayers for a speedy recovery after the successful surgery.
ReplyDeleteBarbara, this is lovely!! It will be fun to play with again, I'm sure! Perhaps an entry for the 2013 show??! :)
ReplyDeleteBarbara--
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is coming along wonderfully! Good luck with your surgery. Jim had his knee done 2 years ago and it has been such a good thing to get over with!! Hope the recovery goes well. Maybe you can get lots of applique done!
What a stunning quilt! Best wishes on your surgery and enjoy some hand piecing while recovering :)
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful. I know "looking forward" to the surgery is no fun (nor will most of the recovery time) but then good times are coming. Good to have workable projects ready and waiting.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt. Your work is beautiful. Best wishes for your upcoming surgery. Maybe you can slow down a bit and get some handwork done while you are recuperating.
