Beautiful quilt! Love those colors! How fortunate you are stuck inside and are creative at the same time.
Sorry to hear you also have asthma. For me, I see absolutely no benefits to having it. Having it has given me the time to do a lot of sewing, quilting, and learning, but again, I would give it up in a heartbeat to be free of asthma. I am sure all of you that have it would too. Isn't it a bummer?

I never thought of looking at having asthma that way but now that I think about it what a great excuse to be able to be in the sewing room. I cannot be in extreme heat or cold and yes sometimes it has great benefits. lol

NanaCsews2 - I too would rather not have asthma, and on Friday I was about in tears in frustration! However, to date there has not been any option (a lung transplant would bring its own set of issues, even if it WAS an option), so I just try to make the best of it. Quilting takes my mind off what I CAN'T do, and helps me focus on all the things I CAN do!

That's something my Mother used to say, "inside time"... thanks for reminding me of that! And you're right... this is a fabulous use of those icky circumstances. Talk about making lemonade out of lemons! I love this litttle quilt & know your niece will, too! Feel better!

Your quilt is wonderful. So sorry you have been suffering, however. Quilting helps maintain your sanity and passes the time in a meaningful way. I have been piecing tops like crazy, sitting in front of a fan, trying not to think about how stinkin' hot it is. Then at night when it does cool down, I throw open the windows and hand quilt.
