Accidental Quilter

Love to quilt, but don't have time to maintain a website--so here's a quilt blog instead. I'll try to post photos of new quilts and friends and any new quilt tips I learn along the way!

Sarah's wedding quilt :)

I began this quilt called Sunnyside at a quilt retreat last January in Panama city. The guest quilter was Pat Wys  and this design is from her neutral quilts book. My niece, Sarah, loves it and it will be her wedding quilt. :) of course, her wedding is September 21st & this quilt is far from done. Just finished 20 of these center blocks -- but there are 50& then all the border piecing-- just to have the top pieced :)  would you believe that each of these blocks has 40 pieces?  And you have to pop the center seams for the quarter squares and trim them out with the Tucker Trimmer! It takes about a half day to put together one block ! If I sew 2 blocks I'm exhausted and my husband has to cook dinner. One of my quilting pals even came over with her machine & we both made blocks all day long and we each made 2 ! Boy-- I am never doing this pattern again no matter how beautiful it may turn out :)
