Robin's Legacy


Star block - corrected
Originally uploaded by gidgetpics

My SIL custom ordered a photo memory quilt to present to the parents of her childhood friend who succumbed to cancer recently. I decided the Sawtooth Star was perfect for a quilt of this type. I've gotten all of the photos scanned and 10 photo blocks printed. This is the first finished block. The blocks will probably need to be sashed, but I don't want to take anything away from the photos so that's a wait and see what I can do for now. Hopefully by next weekend I can have half the blocks finished.

Wyoming Valley

Here's my version of the BlockCentral.com Somewhere in Time" Block of the Month "Wyoming Valley". My fabric choices weren't the best as the design really doesn't POP, but I think I'll stick with this. I do think it will be pretty when done. Once again I think it took close to 5-6 hours to complete, but I have been trying to take my time. My points still aren't as good as they could be but all in all, it doesn't look bad. Okay, back to Robin's Legacy.
