Danny's quilt in the planning stages

Well, good news today all around. I was able to drive over to Lorraine's AND I remembered to bring my camera! I'll be sharing photos of the process finally. The end product is likely to be slightly different.


Here you can see the center row. We decided on the center row and then worked outward. The pieces of brown fabric on the right edge of each block is the sashing.

We've tried for symmetry when possible and even looked at colour and fabric details when placing blocks. Part of the fun, though, is seeing what we can make out of so many varied blocks. I think it's the real charm of the quilt, the contributions from so many caring women coming together.

In this picture here we're saving space for two blocks that are on the way. Monday should bring my favourite mail carrier - the one who delivers packages!







This picture gives you an idea of the quilt's size. We added a few blocks as place holders.

There will be horizontal pieces of sashing fabric between each row. The top, bottom, left and right edges will be surrounded by the same fabric as the sashing. Then, Lorraine will add one or two borders as she sees fit.

At that point the quilt top will be ready to be layered with the batting and the backing fabric and handed off to Gerene to be quilted.

Things are really coming together. I love it!
