I’m happy to say that my pretty kitty did not manage to destroy the new layout of the paintbox quilt. She did motivate me to redo the layout, label every block, and pick it up off the floor as soon as possible! I did take pictures of the new layout, but I’m finding it difficult […]

Here’s a sneak peak at my large string quilt. The blocks are 12.5″ square and I need to make 35 of them! Crazy! And I have a deadline that’s a little nuts….but I work well under pressure. The fabrics have been fun to work with and as always there is that bit of doubt that
