Gifted...



This is a gift for my youngest son's girlfriend.  I had intended to have it finished before she went on Spring Break, however, my sewing machine had a different plan.  Better late than never! The pattern is from Quiltsmart, The Mondo Bag.  Mondo, huge, ginormous, gigunda, whatever you call it, it is LARGE!                            




My neighbor was kind enough to model it so you get an idea of the sheer size of this bag!!

Later,

Just a little detour...

I don't want you to think that I am so focused on the Postage Stamp quilt that I haven't worked on anything else...


The weather has been so enjoyable that I have worked on this while sitting outside with the dogs.  The hexagons finish at  1 1/2 inches, Kaffe's with shot cotton centers, set with Kona Espresso.

Of course, this afternoon I finished up the last of the strip sets for the Postage Stamp. Only had to sew 82 sets.  Now to just to cut them!

Current Obsession

Thought I would start a small project to become familiar with this.
A Postage Stamp seemed like a good idea.
Of course, I decided to go big!
I am making 64 patches that will finish at 8 inches, the quilt will finish at 72x72.  I figure I am a little over half way.  I have a self imposed deadline of April 30.  No problem!!
