Grandmother's Fan Ooopps
I planned on making a Grandmother's Fan from the stash my MIL gave me -- and I thought I was being so thrifty as I pieced the fan to the arched edge piece and to the fan base. What I forgot is that I needed to make the base of the fan a contrasting color for it to show up when the squares were placed next to each other. Live and learn! I saw a baby quilt at a friend's house and decided to make my first piano key border. That was a labor of love, but I like the end result nonetheless. I never claimed to be perfect. This is the biggest quilt I have machined quilted on my home sewing machine. Thank you Leah Day and Lori Kennedy for the inspiration and tips!
