This is the next to last heart quilt (I think) and it is finally finished. The top was on my design wall for about 8 years. I looked at it every day and I really liked it but I never pushed myself to finish it. Why? When you finish something, it becomes something someone else wants. When it is unfinished it belongs to me. I am always tempted to sell them or give them as gifts once they are finished. I took this picture with natural light yesterday since it is bright in my studio when there is snow on the ground. Notice my wonky single chain in the burgundy area? I am sick of trying to be perfect, I would rather have fun. Besides that I am a little wonky. Just ask my friends. This piece is 20" square.
Someone asked in the comments yesterday about the size of the bag I posted. I took this picture and emailed it to her but then I decided maybe some others wondered about the size too. I don't even know what the original size of the bag was on the pattern. I just use whatever size my patchwork piece is and then use the same general directions for assembly.
I ended up canceling the computer class I teach at the sewing machine store because of the snow predicted. In the end we only got about 2" and didn't get any of the snow they predicted for overnight. It is going to be cold (20's) and several of the ladies travel over 20 miles so I think it was the thing to do anyway. So that gives me a snow day and I have a list of 4 things I want to accomplish.
