Pulling out, dusting off and trying to recall...

the plan again. I cut and pieced these together 4 yrs. ago, with the intention of making it into a "Roman"(style) window quilt for our big picture window in the living room. These are the only four I have pieced, but there will be three different patterns( two represented in above photo) With canning almost completed, I'm looking for projects to start on. Cortney and I will be working on various Christmas projects, but those we work on in the evenings. I'm looking at all the pieces and trying to rack my brain to what the plan was? Oh well, we'll make a new plan, possibly it will be better! These squares will still be make into a "Roman" style window quilt, just the design will be a bit different as I've found some new inspiration in a few quilt books. Now all you quilters out there looking at my squares, they are far from perfect and I'm only a beginning quilter, learning EVERYTHING I know from books. I have made a connection with an area quilter and she's more than willing to help me in my journey, PTL! I have two quilt frames, one smaller and one large enough to do a King sized quilt, but it would be nice to get a tutorial on how to actually use one*wink* I've made a couple table runners and a baby quilt and I feel they turned out quite nice, for someone with no formal training. I do machine piece, but I'm a stickler for staying with the tradition of hand quilting. My Grandma, ( my Dad's mom) has made many a quilt, not all of them beautiful like the ones you see on display at fairs and such, but quilts that are made from scraps, tops pieced by my Great Grandma( her mother) from clothes and odd pieces of fabric. I was blessed to receive one of these quilts, it's truly a keepsake and my Grandma signed it, "pieced by Great Grandma H. and quilted by Grandma L. Last summer I was blessed again with a beautiful quilt she made from cross stitch squares, we'd given her for Christmas a few years before. I need to let you in on something, my Grandma is going to be 94 yrs. old and she hand quilted this quilt alittle over a year ago. I don't believe she's quilting any longer, as her eye sight is not good, but she still cross stitches tea towels and pillow cases and has delved into drawing and painting, in which she is unsurprisingly quite gifted at. I'll have to see if I can copy some of her art work and post it here for you to see and I'll get a picture of the quilt she gifted me with last summer as well. Not much else new going on, just doctoring Mo, daily chores, some yard and flower garden clean up, odds and ends canning( we're about out of jars; we have a dozen pints and half dozen quarts and a dozen or so jelly jars) and planning our winter, so no time is wasted. Of course we are planing to rest a bit too*wink* Blessings for your weekend.
