Between Quilt<\/p><\/div>\n

After realistic assessment of my remaining years and deteriorating health, I’ve worked to complete all UFO’s (UnFinished Objects) and have vowed for the rest of my life to finish what I start.\u00a0 When I pass, I don’t want to burden my family with deciding what to do with bits and pieces of projects.\u00a0 Finished quilts are easy to cherish, whereas unfinished ones are a quandary!<\/span><\/p>\n

Since completing the last quilt, I’ve been a little lost without a new project.\u00a0 Also facing Jacob’s leaving for his new out-of-state job, I KNOW I need a fun distraction to occupy my mind and hands.\u00a0 For the first time in many, many years, I won’t be an on call, full-time, all the time mom.\u00a0 Yikes!\u00a0 SCARY!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Being in a state of flux, I’ve started what I’m calling a ‘Between Quilt’ (between the last quilt and the next!) while deciding whether to undertake a more major, time consuming project in the future. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the quilting world, this pattern is called ‘Blockade’, ‘Hidden Pinwheels’ or ‘King’s X’.\u00a0 It mostly uses the cut scraps I’ve saved from past quilt projects.\u00a0 I’ve machine-sewn the block segments and will assemble them by hand.\u00a0 The current plan is to piece the back with stash fabric and quilt it using thread left from other quilts, making it a true ‘leftover’ quilt. <\/span>I love how bright and cheerful it’s becoming with nary a financial investment.\u00a0 Rejoice my frugal heart!<\/span><\/p>\n
