quilts laid out

Every time I sew, I make nine squares.  I may have mentioned this in the past.  It means I always have a quilt in the works.  Sometimes I just sew nine squares.  Sometimes I sew nine squares while I make other things.

When the building for work was closed mid week, Koda Bear and Miss A went to the Children's Museum.  Yes, it was open during a tropical storm and they had a great time because there was hardly anyone there.  I took the quiet to lay out two quilts.  It was actually very nice not to have a small boy helping.

Now I did have help from my Beloved.

His color sense is not mine so these quilts are not quite what I would have made.  But that is okay.  I am actually making cashmere and cotton squares right now.  All solids.  I may make a quilt and keep it for myself.  Or I might not.  I will see.

Really beautiful! And such a good idea to just do a square at a time. I truly admire quilters. My friend Beth does beautiful work, you might enjoy her blog. She is also teaching Burmese refugee women to sew so they can quilt too! ebenezerstoryteller.blogspot.com

Nine squares really work best a square at a time. I have five in progress right now just because.
