Freedom Ring checked out all the seams to make sure they were a quarter inch - guess she approved!

Another step completed with "Weezie's Scrappy Quilt" - partial strips of 2 & 3s blocks to make 8 rows.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thought of a name for "that other project".  Have no idea the completed design so decided to name it "On A Whim" - that provides poetic license!

"Weezie's Scrappy Quilt" is on its way! Here are seven of the ~56 blocks to make a queen size quilt = 49 more to go. Also included is a small box with fabrics marked for hexagons; oh, but that's that other project!

First "showing" of the "2s" (1+1)  to be pieced together to make 4-piece blocks - all this in random layout to get a feel for "Weezie's Scrappy Quilt"

The last 14 blocks for the "Weezie's Scrappy Quilt": total number of blocks: 227

Next step: 11" blocks

My inspiration to piece quilt tops!

Beginning of work session with a cup of tea and a cold bottle of water

Picture I saw that reminded me I had "that" room divider pattern somewhere in my files. I then thought I could make a quilt from that room divider pattern - googled the internet and found THE magazine! 1967-2011 Wonder when the quilt will be made? But it is on the list to start on and probably soon!

(I hope these posts will be in the order I want to show the story - if not please look at the pictures from the bottom up!)

Scrap blocks for the yet unnamed quilt - and what about the design? I change my planning process every time I work on it. Maybe this is the Mystery Puzzle Scrap Quilt!

Mama and her sister, Aunt Ted, made this quilt when they were young ladies. Hand painted, embroidery and quilted State Flowers ~ 1926

Kit sewn together and quilted by my mother, Mabel Edmondson Hart, for our fourth baby. She made the other three covers but we wore them out. We "saved" this one. 1963

Top bought from a lady from church and it had a PINK sash. Put a brown sash on it and quilted it for my husband. He wanted me to make him an ORANGE dahlia quilt. I told him quilters are not suppose to work on a fabric or pattern they do not like. He accepted this!
