as promised




This is the first quilt I've truely done from start to finish with patterns. On my other three there have always been significant parts that I either made up or I outright just flew (sewed) by the seat of my pants.

For the
quilting I'm using a heart pattern. Now, I'm not normally a heart kind of girl, but this quilt is for my Grandma. The woman who taught me to sew in the first place. So, for her, I'll do hearts.

If you look closely, you can see glasses I'm having to wear to get all this fine detail work done without headaches. I really hate them.

Here is a slightly more close-up view. I'm hoping to finish the marking for the quilting lines and get it basted before this evening. Ambitious, I'm afraid.
