I'm sewing from stash so I decided to do a rainbow. Lots and lots of colors, with a black as background. The black fabric is a leaf print (I have a bolt of it) because I'm turning over a new leaf! And moving from dark to light, as I move to lighten up!
Way to go. What a neat way to thing of your quilt. Hope you don't mind, I copied it and hung it in my sewing room. Keep up the good work. I have only lost 30 lbs & it took me a year. Now I have to work on the remaining 50.
Pati, I'm flattered that you copied my quilt. I have way more to lose so I will be on the journey with you for a long time. I plan on eating this way for the rest of my life. Since I have lost way more than 10% of my body weight, my dr tells me that my life will be two years longer. Celebrating that!!!! Woohoo!
Thanks to you all for encouragement and support. This group is great.
I lost 2 more lbs, for 44 lbs total weight loss, and so I got to finish another row. Here's the Hourglass quilt so far.
