With real excitement I started this quilt 15 years ago under the watchful eye of a local lady who is an absolute master at these. It seemed to go on forever until I got a little tired of it....I got to a point where I just put it away and forgot about it for some time. Then last year I promised myself that I would get it out and FINISH it this year. I brain stormed & pondered for hours over how I would finish it from the blocks to completion. FINALLY, Ta'dah it is done!! I love how it has turned out and very thankful that I can tick it off the list of UFO's

I desired greatly to make a periwinkle quilt and in 2018, finally accomplished just that. I loved the snowball effect made by the assembly of tiny kites and became fascinated with foundation piecing. As I worked - the "snowballs' started looking like the bottoms of old aqua blue canning jars. As a former antique dealer - that really pleased me. By the time I finished the foundation piecing, I had decided to border it with canning jar labels and canning jars for borders. I used a stylized aqua/white canning jar fabric for the back and I daringly put it on my dining room table and made a tablecloth of it!

This is a guest bedroom quilt that I have been working on. I love the preciseness of paper piecing. I haven't joined the blocks together yet nor have I made a decision on a border but I am anxious to complete it.

I made my daughter a southwestern jewel-tone color quilt.
