Ruth's Quilt for Hannah ...

On Sunday night I was sitting on the lounge with Hannah stitching this little block ...

She started looking through the small pile of blocks that I had already done and saying that she really like them!

Then I looked through them and found one I hadn't stitched which said "stitched in 2005"!!! Can you believe that ... 5 years ago I started this project!! Tut tut!!

So even though I started it before she was born I told her that I would make her the quilt!

I figured it was about time that I finished the whole project!!

So yesterday I finally found the already cut up fabric ... see I did have good intentions!!

Although a few strips hadn't been cut yet and I didn't have quite enough fabric so off to the stash to find a few more pinks. This quilt is for Hannah, a lover of pink!!

Then I sat done and sewed. I got half of the quilt top together and then it was time to get tea ready!

I am about half way through the stitcheries. So half way done altogether!

Although Hannah thought that I was going to have the quilt on her bed last night!!

The pattern is from this book by Leanne Beasley and the quilt is shown on the cover.

This year I really want to get a bit more sewing done. When I was looking for the extra fabric yesterday I discovered that I have a number of projects that I could work on this year and probably through until 2020!!!

I think I might get this quilt professionally quilted in a stipple. I have made it one strip longer so it is better for her bed. I will consult the quilting gals on Thursday!!
