I decided to join in on Rachel Griffith's Synchronized Squares Quilt Along that I found through Flickr. The instructions are on her blog :
http://www.psiquilt.com/2011/06/sync...ilt-along.html

The quilt was SUPPOSED to be completed in 3 weeks, but I knew that would never happen for me, but I may complete the top this weekend. It very easy, and a small lap quilt. The edges of the four squares are raw, and I'm not sure yet how I feel about that. (I know my high school sewing teacher would NOT be happy about that!)
Most people chose wonderful layer cakes for their quilts, but I decided to use some of my hoarded fabrics... RJR Art Nouveau and Art Nouveau Revisited and I'm glad I did. I love the fabrics. Here is my progress so far. You end up with 36 squares to sew together (most of you can do that in your sleep!!) for a 52" finished quilt. I have NO CLUE how I will quilt it when its done! I have never done machine quilting before, although I recently took a class. This will be my first, but I will admit, that part of me wants to pack it up and send it off to one of you to quilt!! This is the first quilt that I have made in many, many years. I am enjoying working on it!
