Hi Sharon,
I just finished the last plantinging the garden so now I can sit back quilt and watch them both grow.

I had a plan when I started quilting the Rooster quilt for my grand nephew. It started with celtic spirals in the center and it sort of evolved into echo (sp) quilting...by the time I got to the outer edges I cursed myself for quilting so much per square inch, because I had to keep to the same density the rest of the way. arrrrgggg!

This is a special quilt because I combined some of my mom's stash with mine to make the quilt. She passed away several years before he was born. I have three lap size tops that she left that just worked out to be the personalities of my niece and two nephews. And two others that I will finish for my son. I have picked out and purchased the fabric to enlarge them . Now each will have a quilt of some of her making. I know she did not plan these for them but it just worked out that way. So in a way I still get to work with her on their quilts.


Thanks for the encouracement!
