Decisions Decisions



This is post number 2, and for some reason, I can always find something to talk about, but sitting down here and writing it, well, I edit myself, wondering what everyone will enjoy reading...... I will get used to this soon.

My latest project was one of the quilts Bonnie Hunter posted, the Chunky Churn Dash, and I have not finished with the borders. I added triangles to the edges, which makes it look cattywhompus, (yep, I wrote that), and now, I have to add the border. I have MS, and it is hard to maneuver a quilt when it gets big, and I made this one big, as I had bigger strips than Bonnie's pattern called for, then the added triangles...so, I may have Bonnie quilt this for me...

The last quilt I finished, was an autumn colored one, and it is my very first ever completed applique' quilt, ever. We have a quilt show at our county museum every year, so this is the one I entered, and it won first place in category, Best Use of Color, and Viewer's Choice, for the show. Pretty cool for my first applique".

I hope this first picture posting was successful, and there will be more to come. Now, I have to decide what projects to take on retreat next weekend, more decisions.....
