One year and one day ago I started this quilt top.
I had a pattern but of course I did not stick to that.
I had a timetable.
A very realistic time table
with plenty of time to wander and return.

The next step will be to hand the quilt over
(to a friend)
to be machine quilted-

Another realistic move-

Over on Joanne's blog Whole Latte Life
she posed the question -
"Do you come into the new year as a lion or a lamb?"

The responses in the comment section
make this post really fun.

My answer:

With that my quilt top is completed!
Delayed by a day-
Delayed by a dog-
Done in a year and a day.
Here is a link to the day I began my quilt top-
That's a beauty, and Princess Peppers approves.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful project to fill a year and a day with! There seems to be a certain comfort to the whole process. I hope 2011 is roaring with creativity for you ...
ReplyDeleteThe year and a day spent on this project was well worth-while.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing your quilt! It's beautiful. I have an unfinished one glaring at me from a dusty corner of my spare room....I stand in awe at your stick-with-it-ness.
ReplyDeleteSharon- It is always a good day when the family pet has their say. We do love our animals don't we? hugs- teri
ReplyDeleteJoanne- There is a sense of great comfort in the process- But there is even greater comfort sleeping under a quilt that you have made yourself. Makes me want to purr!
ReplyDeleteGeorge- yes there is nothing like sleeping under a home made quilt!
ReplyDeleteCarolynn- Quilts do tend to glare from corners until they are rest happily on a bed- I have several more quilts that are still glaring! Hugs- teri
