An Oldie But Goodie

My posts recently haven't been very quilty. That isn't to say I haven't been sewing, though. I have! The thing is, you see, some of the projects I'm working on are gifts for people who may (or may not) read my blog. So I'm not posting about them. Just in case. The holiday season is nearly upon us, and I'm going to photograph my projects as they are completed, so that I can post the pictures as soon as they have been given.

Meanwhile, this is a picture of one of my favorite quilts. For several months I'd subscribed to equilter.com's batik of the month FQ packet. One rainy Sunday afternoon I pulled some batiks that seemed to go well together and started making Louisiana blocks, one of my all-time favorites. Sixteen blocks later I was ready for a nice scrappy border. I loved this little quilt, and hand-quilted it in a variegated thread. It was a gift for our former neighbor, Cameron, when he was born.
