My Quilt top is done!
I am having a hard time writing about this quilt because my motivation for creating it was not the same as most of my projects.
I will start by saying that I have always wanted to make cathedral windows. I still do, since these are not traditional cathedral windows. Some of these blocks were really fun to put together, some I did not enjoy as much. There is one in the bottom left of the photograph that reminds me of something, which I will not say out loud. If you don't see it yourself think about Everybody Loves Raymond: Season 6, Episode 5 Marie's Sculpture. Oops.
This quilt will be perfect for Valentine's Day. My attraction towards Valentine's Day is growing. I have never 'celebrated' the day with my husband, I have always thought it was a highly commercialized day and that it is better to celebrate your love everyday of the year. However, I now have children in school and they celebrate Valentine's Day at school, so I have fun with them making Valentine's cards for their classmates. The quilt will be a fun addition to our home at that time.
The instructions for it can be found here.
Lastly, my sewing machine is broken!! It happened yesterday while I was sewing. It quit picking up thread and I cannot use the left position of my needle. I tried a new needle (in case mine had bent) but no go. It looks like I will have to take her in for service and temporarily move on to non-sewing machine things:(
