My son's girlfriend (and Mac's mom) asked me to make a new quilt for them. One that was big enough for them all too sleep under together and still be covered. She suggested 120" square . I gasped. I've not made anything that big. Could I handle it? Could my longarmer handle it? She said no. The widest she can do is 105" , but it could be longer. Okay then. Now on to colors. She said brights. I can do that. Then they brought me over some Crown Royal bags and asked if i could incorporate them into a quilt. I scoured Pinterest, and came up with this.
The Ohio stars have a bit of color using aquas, greens, purples and grays. The alternating blocks will be double 9 patches. I haven't decided on the border yet. I think it will be lovely.
It's much cooler here today, only 45' now with a high of 52'. I felt like whining. So I looked up Ohio's weather, 34' now, high of 38', snow starting in 4 minutes. And just like that, poof, no more urge to whine. Well at least about the weather. No snow here, thank goodness.
Have a great day, even if i is snowing.
