Old Glory and PL Quilt

This is yet another Yellow Brick Road---you'd think I'd have it memorized by now, but I don't!!! I called it Lavender Blue. Anybody remember that old song that went, "Lavender Blue Dilly, Dilly, Lavender Green, You'll be my king, Dilly Dilly, I'll be your Queen."

"Old Glory" is a kit from Keepsake Quilting and I have the top put together. It was very challenging to get the blocks put together so they all matched up. I see I still got some of the same blocks top to bottom in a line. I learned that you need to use the same machine all the way through the whole quilt. I used the Bernina for part and the Featherweight for part and the seams were enough different that I had trouble with the blue part and had to do some "constructive" seaming to get it to come out right. They both have 1/4th" feet, too! But I'm happy with it and the quilt police haven't shown up yet so I guess it's all right!!!! Going to be quilted with shooting stars edge to edge.

We are having summer-like weather now----temps in high 90's. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Thank you God for the A/C.

Three New Blocks for "Old Glory"

My newest project is a quilt called "Old Glory" and here are the first three blocks. It is a kit from Keepsake Quilting. I liked it the first time I saw it and so I asked for the kit for Christmas! I'm just now getting to it. It is quite an interesting quilt and is fun to do. The blocks finish at 6". Not too small, but just right, I think! You make 3 blocks of 13 different blocks. Should be an interesting pattern.

We went back to some cooler weather, but now today is supposed to warm up, so will get back to the walking again, I hope! Sure do feel better when I walk-----how about you?
