My quilts

Now is as good a time as any. I wanted to have a blog for my quilts and other things, but I have been afraid to start this. After reviewing and browsing other quilt blogs, posts and pictures, I guess I will blog too.
This is the layout for my "Tiramisu, I Love You". My husband T said he wanted a quilt. After sewing and sewing I realized this was not the quilt to snuggle on the floor in front of the TV with. I told T this is a stay on the back of the couch, display quilt. The seams were very hard to keep 1/4 inch and some of the blocks are not exactly square. It is a courthouse steps block from the Fons and Porter Spring 2008 Easy Quilts.

I finished the quilt and entered it in the Billings, Montana Quilt Show. It was fun to see the other quilts, to see what quilt artists created. I am by no means a quilt artist after seeing what can be done with fabric and thread.
My mother and I talk about quilts, look at magazines, buy fabric for our stash and occasionally we sew. I will show more of our quilts in the future.
