Progress on Several Projects

        I have a quilt sandwich waiting for quilting. Instead of quilting it, I pulled several other UFOs to work on.   I made 6 red stars for week 2 assignment for Alycia's QOV Quilt Along and cut the strips needed for week 3.

     Then I used my scrap system of 3 ½ “ by 6 ½ “ pieces to create the border for the Scrap Dance Waltz. I found a great fabric in my stash for the backing so that is also ready for the next step.

      I also pulled fabric and pieced a backing for the Broken Lemoyne stars top. This week I hope to get both sandwiched for quilting.

      I recently read The Quilt Walk by Sandra Dallas. (I read the digital copy through Libby.) I really enjoyed it even though classified as a Juvenile chapter book of about 200 pages. It is about a 10 year old girl, her caring family and quilting. The story is based on a real family's wagon train journey west to Golden, Colorado in 1863. I recommend it especially for a quilter and her daughter or granddaughter about age 9 to 12.
