New Quilt


Well, since I started the shop blog is looks like people have actually been looking at my blog also.  Probably pretty disappointing to see that I haven't posted anything in a year!!  Life does get away from us doesn't it? I got a call from my brother the other day and he asked me when I was going to make him a quilt.  I was shocked.  I actually had though about making him one but just wasn't sure he'd like one.  Now I'm motivated!!  He's big into sailing and is actually in the process of making a sail boat.  A BIG one.  So here is the quilt I picked out from an old book by Gerry Kimmel Carr called Homefront.  The four blocks are my beginning of the quilt.  Only 43 more stars to go, 5 ships, and 3 mariners compass!!
