 Just a test to see if this still works. It's been years and feeling like I need to have a place outside of Facebook to post my quilts and musings.



This is a quilt that is over 5 years in the making (and still not done). I started it as a baby quilt and of course the baby is no longer a baby so I feel it needs to be a tad larger. I originally didn't like it the way it was presented so I made this top and had some extra pieces so I made a smaller one too. When I decided to get back to this quilt I thought about adding borders but it really didn't work. I found this out by buying fabric (it was hard to find fabric still available in this line but I did). I tested it with borders and it wasn't working so then I decided to make extra blocks when it hit me that I could take the original pieces from the smaller quilt and add it. That's what I did so now it is originally like it was intended to be, however I don't have a photo of it just yet. It's a pattern by Julie Herman called Hugs and Kisses. I really had fun with it and can't wait to finish it.
