Here's Ryan's quilt, washed, dried, and quilty:
I will give it to him tomorrow.
And this:
Became this:
Yes--just *that* fast! These are pieced, but the sashings and cornerstones are just stuck to my design wall. I think I'll call these the "Tree of Life" blocks. Read Genesis 2:9. Part of the verse says "And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food..." Pleasant to the sight, for sure!
The blocks finish at 8" square, and the sashing is 2" wide. The quilt has 25 blocks. Four down, 21 to go!
Off to list a bunch of stuff in my Etsy store...ShelbyStitcher. Come check it out!
I mentioned to my quilt-lovin' daughter this AM that I'm going to list and sell some of our older quilts (as in several years old, not antiques). I actually saw her mind go into hoard mode. What a shame! I'll be checking under her bed soon ;) She's already told me the first two she has decided to snatch/claim when the time comes for her to move out.
