    Heather, I just adore your wall hanging with the chicks. Can you give us info and where you got the pattern. I love it.

    Here are pictures of the front and back of the layered quilt. This is for my friend's from high school 70th birthday. I am so excited about doing this photo memory quilt for her. I can't wait to get it quilted!

    The pictures are from our high school days, through the years of the two of us, her travel photos and our kids. I will quilt around the individual photos in the collages so they'll stand out. Blue and green are our high school colors. The label will be printed over a logo of the school. Underneath the 3D pinwheels are the top are dates and comments relevant to our friendship. Backing fabric are I (heart) Chicago, New York, California as that is where she has lived over the years.

    Irish, are you going to start the new thread? I'm in. I even worked on the quilt that didn't get worked on Sunday. I will turn the edge and put a decorative stitch on it and put it in the pile to give away. Liked the pattern but not the FMQ. But some little one will love it, I'm sure.

    verushcke-- congrats on your anniversary! 55 yrs is quite an achievement. shows it can be done! we're newly-weds at 34, and counting!

    irish-- i hope you will start the new thread , great idea! i need all the motivation and accountability i can get! so count me in once you start it! tia!

    grammajo- great memory quilt! it can't get more personal than that!!

    dolphyngrl-- i like your iron sack. how do you like the clover iron? do you keep it next to you when you sew? i have one but haven't tried it yet, so i'm very curious!

    liz92b- love the maple leaf especially! do you have a pattern?
    i love that this is continuing! and if irish decides not to start a new thread i hope someone else will. it's so fun to have a dialogue going all the time, and to see what people are doing!

    verushcke, congratulations on your special day!!!!! We are only celebrating 25 - so we are really babies. Although as my younger brother would say "it's downhill from here".

    What a day! It's only noon and I have had so many issues trying to finish a wallhanging. I wanted to add hanging tabs, the kind to run a pole through. Plan A didn't work, neither did plan B. Plan C wasn't good, but looks ok. Good thing these were in a freebie box of fabric DD found at a garage sale. But finally finished the silly thing....now on to the second one....the learning curve will help make the second one go much faster!

    I got permission from Susan Fletcher Conaway at http://fiberartalmosteveryday.blogsp...ilt-block.html to make a Canadian Quilt of Valour. I also recreated the block in EQ7...
