Some Things Are Just Worth Waiting For

Yes, some things just are.  And some things just end up making you wait!

Here is my block that I totally missed doing for the Louisiana Traveling Quilt.  I was supposed to "start" the quilt for the person on the line above me in the list.  It is a weighty thing, starting a quilt that will be someone else's.

You might thing that a strange comment, due to the fact that the nature of the Louisiana Traveling Quilt is that 9 other people will work on the quilt.  But starting it is very personal to me.  It gives the rest of the 9 a direction, moral quilt compass if you will.  A place to go from here.

i looked at her Pinterest page of things she made, things she likes and things that interest her.  And I came up with this little guy.

I think she will like it.  I certainly do.  In fact I so much like it, I am thinking of doing those colors in the next thing for myself.

So it will be mailed off tonight on my way to dinner with a friend!

Louisiana Traveling Quilt - Round 1

This is no secret, I realized at some point.  So here it is,the first round on the traveling quilt. It is Marty's quilt.  It is going to be huge if people keep adding large rounds.  So I just added some sides.  Even so, it was an additional 10 inches.

I really like the effect of the circles.  Even though they are not full circles, you see circles because your mind fills in the rest!  An illusion!

I can't wait to see my next project!
