I have a feeling someday (after 76 or 77 other projects) I will finally tackle making one. So, so pretty and I love the handwork aspect of them.<br /><br />I have a friend who is a wonderful quilter. She has such a color sense and puts together the most beautiful and striking quilts. Once I asked her what was her favorite part of quilting. She said, "Putting on the binding." This surprised me and I know I had a quizzical look on my face. She then said, "Because that means I'm nearly done and I can start another one." ;o)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-20536611405010429862019-07-30T14:19:10.331-05:002019-07-30T14:19:10.331-05:00Just like them all so very much.

I've been working on a grandmother's flower garden Quilt. It's all done by hand. The paper piecing method.

I pulled another one of the finished but unfinished not yet backed and quilted tops (huh?) out last night, put it up on my design wall and may have to look at it for quite a while before I figure out how the heck to quilt it. Unfortunately, the quilting part of quilting (double huh?) is not my strong suit and it takes me a while to decide what to do!

But I've (we've) really been trying to make some changes around here and although some days we don't feel like we have yet attained as much balance as we want, we both think we're making progress and are better for it! <br /><br />Leigh - Thank you, thank you! Why is it that we tuck unfinished things away and it takes so long to pull them out and finish them? I suppose there are lots of reasons, maybe even a good one or two! ;o)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-88637973786822816422019-07-29T20:14:46.865-05:002019-07-29T20:14:46.865-05:00Your work is beautiful, Mama Pea.

Or maybe I'm just not remembering... ,-)<br /><br />Anyway, it's great and a lovely step, toward taking a bit more time, for yourself.<br /><br />Horrrrrrorrrrs! I nearly said... A lovely step, toward slowing down a bit. Eeeeeek!!!!!
