Can I finally bring myself to do it?

You are probably thinking do what? And you are probably coming up with all sorts of ideas lol. Here is my problem. I have 21 yards of Ricky Tims hand dyed fabrics. I have had some of them for about 4 years. I haven't been able to cut into them so far. They are just to special lol. Just as he is. Here is the pattern I would like to use them in ( I think lol).

The Baltimore Blue applique is coming along nicely and I may finish most or all of that this weekend. I really need to get something else ready. I may spend some of the time preparing for this next quilt. Wish me luck and leave me encouragement to cut into this fabric finally. How do you do it when you just think the fabric is to pretty and special to use? Any hints will be greatly appreciated.

FINALLY!!

Here is the finished quilt! And they love it!!

Update on Cindy

Before I moved to the other blog site, I had made a quilt for someone our oldest daughter Keri worked with who had cancer. Sad to report she died a few months after I made the quilt for her.

Noah's Ark

Here is the baby quilt I did for a lady where hubby works.

Bear Heads

Here is a baby quilt that I made for someone at hubby’s office.

Care Bears

These were two simple quilts I worked on this week for a friend of Leslie’s little girl.

The first quilt I ever made!

Sorry I can’t make the picture bigger or clearer. This quilt is for my youngest daughter Kaci. I started it many years ago and worked on it for quite a while. We found a kit of precut triangles that she liked the colors but not the pattern they had it in. Was sorta supposed to be a pinwheel. So I sewed all the triangles together and then made a kinda around the world, though at the time I had no clue that was what it was called lol. There are about 400 squares in this quilt made up of triangles. I hand quilted hearts in each of those blocks. It seemed like it took forever lol. I learned alot from doing this quilt though. And she really likes it so it was worth all the problems of putting those triangles together.

Just remember if my first quilt could be made from all triangles, you can do anything if you try !
