Day 29 of 365

Here are some pictures of the quilt I'm working on. These were taken yesterday, "day 29" of the 365 days I have pledged to myself (and to you) to work on quilting. This quilt was started about 10 years or so ago. I put it aside for at least a full three years. I think the longest thing to do in quilting or sewing a garment is the preparation before the sewing or quilting. Arranging all those squares so the colors would look "right" was very time consuming.

I had just quilted the green print to the left of the red/white with the quilt markings. I'm about to work on that square. It's square 61. I'm officially 1/3 the way through quilting the squares.

I'm showing this to show where I started - the checked green square in the foreground, I think was my first square.

This is to show a close-up of where I am and how I'm carrying the needle from one square to the next. By bedtime, I had *almost* finished the flower design. They take so much longer than the grid squares.
