Two Different Quilts
This quilt has been in progress for far too long! My second grandson has been a Harry Potter fan so I decided to collect FQs of HP fabrics to make a Yellow Brick Road for him. I started it at a retreat and then, when I came to the conclusion that the fabrics, from a couple of different lines, really didn't play nicely together, I set it aside.
My Guild is offering a Badge (like Girl Scouts, only harder) for completing UFOs in four different categories. Just the incentive I needed! I dug this out, finished assembling it, applied a border, sent it to the local machinist and then bound it, and off it goes for Grandson #2's birthday next week.
I'd bought most of the fabrics for this quilt some time ago from a source in Japan and I was just waiting for the right idea to use them. Eventually I found a few more violet, gold, and green Japanese flavor FQs and came up with (1) a plan and (2) the right fabric for the lattices. And then it sat until this past July when I had Covid and was feeling sorry for myself and needed something to cheer me up. Hence "the Covid quilt" came about.
Joe and I both like this quilt so much; fortunately, there are no current potential recipients!
