Quilt of this season!!!


The other day I put myself down. Routine seems boring, winter has been long, cold, and cloudy...but I'm larger than those "circumstances" so with a liberating attitude I revisited some ideas and my patriachal blessing, What a comfort!!!

Ok, so making a quilt every year around summer time is becoming a tradition to me. The first quilt was made on summer 2008, when Max and I started dating, he helped me to find a really cool store in Sugar House, Salt Lake -cool store, but I was out of its league, too advance for my skills- in such situation I bought a magazine in WalMart, and there I was and there I started. Hi there!!! hahaha!!!.
The magazine is Quilts and more-Summer 2008 Issue, and the project is called SQUARE OFF. "What's the secret for making this cozy quilt? A quick stich-and-flip method of adding corners to 8" squares." Here, the picture of that quilt, I learned so much from it. It has flaws all over, but it has an especial meaning to me. Max helped me in the cutting stage, it was FUN!That block by  the way has a story: it was the last piece of its kind and Max cut it in half by accident according to his testimonial, however I knew he dispises flowery fabrics...jk, to save it from being disposed with the rest of the straps we made use of our unknown surgical skills...and there it is a living proof!
You can see my feet and green pijama pants, and that I really like flowery patterns.
Last year's quilt wasn't that succesful, still in my craft-box I'm just gave it a rest.

This year, my sister is visiting Mormie and Pa, and I'd like to send them this new quilt as a gift. Here a picture of all the blocks ready to be sewn together.
