Designing Monday


Progress has been made. This is always a good feeling. I have row 3 nearly finished. It gets more beautiful with each block. Yea!

I originally thought I could whip this together in a week or two after I got all the pieces made, but it has been almost 6 weeks now. I have such a good imagination!

My plans did get interrupted by a little vacation. We decided to wander around for a week and ended up in Gulf Shores, AL. What a wonderful vacation spot, esp. since it is warmer that Wisconsin and the hordes of college kids had not yet arrived. In fact the beaches were nearly deserted. We took a leisurely drive from north to south and back and stopped when we wanted. We stayed in a beautiful B&B in Birmingham, AL. I'll share a few photos in another post.

Check in at Judy's blog to see some other beautiful quilts.

  3. I love your quilt. Glad you had a little vacation to get out of the cold. My daughter lived in Huntsville, and Alabama is still nice and warm and not as far to drive to find nice weather.

    The trip sounds lovely, too. No pressure or deadlines--wonderful!

  6. It looks better and better each week. I love the darker fabrics around the edge to give a built in border.

  13. Your quilt is growing more beautiful as you go along. And, you are right, Gulf Shores is a great place to visit. I love the white sands all along the gulf coast.
