05-23-2023I stumbled on here this morning before going to work.
I am kind of a new quilter. I have 4 sewing machines, the newest is a Janome Hello Kitty one that is more portable than the other 20+ years old ones. My stash is only 4 or 5 bins, of which are chock full, but never enough.
My current project is 12 Sun Bonnet Sue blocks I got that was sashed together, but I unstitched all the blocks and am attempting to space them out enough for a full size light weight quilt. If I had the pattern, and knew how to applique, I'd make some more Sun Bonnet Sue Blocks, but I don't, and yet I am endeared by it, and am compelled to finish what this nice lady I bought them from started. The question: Will I finish before I need a heavy quilt?
Oh, and I'm doing this inbetween making Miracle Quilts [we meet in Oxford MI] for our wounded troops. I've made one quilt top, and am almost done with another so far. See picture, and ignore the 2 blocks turned sideways. LOL

Welcome from another Michigander. I love Sunbonnet Sue. It should be nice when you are finished. Your quilt top is very nice. I'm sure it will be well used by some deserving soldier.

Thanks every one!
It was suposed to be a scrappy quilt - with all the background tans being random. I used some tan blocks with red stars and arranged them in a chain. 2 of these [2nd row up from the bottom] were outa place, and I didn't notice until I was editing the picture. I have since fixed them. I know many wouldn't notice, but I feel our soldiers are giving us their best, so they deserve my best.
