Quilting

I finally am getting started on a real quilt to follow through on a commitment to do a quilt by the end of July - oops. Of course I can't do anything the easy way so I'm making my own pattern based on the "What a Bunch of Squares" pattern by Denyse Schmidt.



For some reason I thought making my own template would be easier than figuring out how to enlarge her templates to 400% minus whatever it would be to get a crib quilt. It was a good practice in quilt pattern making, but short cuts are good too. If I ever really believed that I probably would save a lot of time in various areas of my life.


I have one more week to go. Hope to get this done by the time we leave for our vacation, so I can pass it along to my good friend whose expecting a boy this fall.
