I have decided I must get on with the set of seven quilts that Vashon Youth and Family Services requested before the holidays. I laid out the four smallest some time ago and actually pieced three of the tops. But today I got back at it in earnest. I quilted for five hours without a break today and am now very tired. But I planned the last three quilts, sewed 96 squares from triangles, sewed strips for the interior part of the design, and finally pieced one of the tops. I hope to do the other two tomorrow and that will leave just one, the one which I have already laid out. This weekend is a bit shorter than usual because next week Student Link’s Thursday will come on Monday. We will be open Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, instead of the usual Tues-Thurs. This will make next weekend longer sort of, but not as much as it might seem because I tutor a number of students on Thursday afternoon. Nevertheless, I hope to continue my quilting marathon again then and with any luck, I soon will have the seven quilts completed.

I’m quite impressed!
Thanks, Lydia! I’m very pleased if totally exhausted!
You’re welcome.
Your quilts must bring so much joy to the families who receive them. There’s nothing like wrapping oneself in a beautiful, warm blanket. 🙂
Thanks so! It is win/win as it gives me much joy to make them!
