Finished this quilt top!! It was quite an undertaking. First came the small parts and then it was put together in rows. There were 3 different kinds of rows to keep straight and a top and bottom. I used a new notion that I had purchased on sale at Connecting Threads--the Fons and Porter little clips -- they are like little clothespins--I put my own stickers on them to mark my rows. They sure were a big help!! They helped me keep the parts of the rows separate, too. (You can see them in the picture.) I forgot to take a picture of the rows as I had them laid out on the floor, but there is a picture of the block--it was hard to keep the mediums and lights apart--that's where the little clips came in handy--as long as I remembered which color was which!!! LOL!! Disclaimer--no affiliation--just a happy customer!!
Our oldest grandchild started kindergarten yesterday--a happy/sad time for all of us--seems like time flies and it was just yesterday that we were heralding her arrival. Haven't heard yet how the big first day went, but I have a call in to hear all about it! Grandmas have to know all about this stuff--you know!!!!!
Let quilting help you make someone smile!

Jan, this is such a beautiful quilt! I love it!
That's a beautiful top, Jan. I love the fabrics! The construction looks difficult, too. Good job!
It is a beautiful quilt! Love that line of fabrics, too.
Wow this turned out so beautiful. I love the Prairie Paisleys and your quilt is awesome.
What a great job! You deserve to be proud of this hard work and lovely finish! I use little colored clothespins too and just love them. Mine came from the $1 aisle at Target and came in 4 colors and just keeping 4 colors straight is a challenge. I chant...red, blue, yellow, green as I go along. (or was it, red, blue, green, yellow...or..... ;)
