Attic Windows quilt using novelty fabrics to represent people, events, and things in my life
Started 11/2006 (est.), completed 1/6/2018
Yellow Brick Road quilt
Glitter Christmas fabrics from Makower and some other manufacturers
I cut out the preliminary strips and then put the project away for a few years. The idea was for me to finish the other quilts in progress (Going Snow Global, gift quilts, etc.) first.
1/2017 Finally got back to this quilt and finished cutting the block units. The main section of the quilt is sewn together, but I need to add 2 borders.
5/2017 Sewed on the borders, pieced the backing, and prepped the binding. The quilt is on hold until we get cooler weather. It’s too hot in the summer to wrestle a quilt through the sewing machine!
12/2017 Sandwiched and did most of the machine quilting.
