Hugs cyndi. That's a beautiful quilt for your sister! I hear you on the labor of love. Here's A t shirt memory pillow for my dads widow. My parents divorced years ago due to his unfaithfulness. He remarried about 10 years ago in his 60s. I barely got a thank you but thats ok. I made it for my dad. When he died I asked for the quilt that I made him for ladt Christmas back. Guess she is holding a grudge. I dont have room in my heart for hatred. Well that is what I hope and pray for. [ATTACH=CONFIG]503217[/ATTACH]
A pillow for my mom. It's from scraps from a queen quilt she made. The big quilt is sandwiched but we (ahem, I) need to do the quilting on it. Lol. [ATTACH=CONFIG]503218[/ATTACH]
A pillow for my best friend. [ATTACH=CONFIG]503219[/ATTACH]

You are right! I did a mirrored, truncated sequence that goes 8, 5, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 for a block. When I mapped it out on paper I got lots of interesting effects so I'm trying to turn it into a quilt.

I found the panel at JoAnn's, but they had some at Walmart too. You could go online to order one.

Finished the prayer quilt yesterday and did a bit of mending before tackling another UFO....a baby quilt for a niece who is expecting a girl after FOUR boys. Well, it isn't going well. More frogging then anything else. The piecing went well. The sandwich was made but I wasn't happy with it. Not having a large area to lay the sandwich, my layers were not pulled tight enough. I did baste it fairly well, but when I began the machine crosshatching, the back was awful...ripples and a few tucks. So I ripped that and set the quilt aside to do the prayer quilt. Picked it up again today and tried hand quilting. Ditto. Ripped that out. Next step will be to rip out the whole thing and start over. Baby is due in late January but Mommy is having difficulties. I hope I can get this done by the time Baby Girl arrives.
