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 had her wedding this weekend & although I've been working on this quilt since January it was nowhere near done. Finished 25 of the 50 center diagonal blocks, so wrapped them up with a card that said it would probably be another year before it was finished and included a hundred in cash for Honeymoon money:) I think they really liked the blocks, but, of course, wished that it were already finished. :) But I have to take rests from it, because there are over 40 pieces in each block and if I sew all day long with an hour off for lunch, I can get two--yes--two blocks done! And of course, I can't spend every day on this quilt! But she did pick out this pattern with the neutral batiks, so know they will love it! I'm trying to make all my nieces and nephews wedding quilts and this is number 4 out of 9.
So far, only one was done by the wedding--one nephew got his on their 3rd anniversary and one niece got hers 11/2 years after her wedding. I do try and keep them up to date and see the progress when I see them for holidays :)

This blog site is itself a UFO--I've taken it up again to see if it will work with my iPad. The pix is of Sarah 's wedding quilt -- which is far from finished :)
