Finally getting a few minutes to post. Life has been incredibly busy this past few weeks. Not complaining, just explaining. But this is the latest finish. I had a pile of blue and yellow scraps and decided they would work on my dining area table. The quilt on the wall (Link here, scroll to #73) is an applique done for me sister. Before she died, she gave it back to me. I miss her so much and this quilt helps me be thankful that we were such good friends. It does not show in this picture but they sort of match colorwise.
Anyway, the one on the table is wonky log cabin blocks, plus an orphan block that was in my stash also. I had to pull a few yellows from my stash but most of this is scrap leftovers from other projects. I did the wonky thing because some of those scraps did not conform to a normal size. Also, I'm a bit wonky and it seemed the right thing to do. The pantograph for the quilting is also here to explain why I called this one "Tornado in the Lumberyard."
Next project is underway -- a queen-size in mostly purples for a lovely woman who finally made it to Canada. She was living on another continent, persecuted for her faith in Jesus, and it took several years for her paperwork to go through. Long story. She came with two daughters who are already in school and delighted to be here as well. I will post a photo when the quilt for mom and the older daughter when they are finished. I asked for favorite colors and have a pink one ready for the younger girl folded and waiting to give to her when the other two are done.
