So this quilt I finished today was a pattern by Liz Schwartz called "Quilter's Puzzle." It was fun and easy to put together. And, it used a lot of fabric. I will need to make another one of these for sure....good way to use up some of mom's fabric. I had a rough time with the back, but in the end it came out just fine. I am thrilled with the quilting job that the ladies at Cornerstone Quilt Shoppe did, as they mimic puzzle pieces.

I am excited that this will be the first quilt I am donating to Project Linus. There is a gal in Davis that collects blankets for PL and helps distribute them locally to kids in need. I think this particular quilt is perfect for donation because it could be for a girl or boy of any age. Too often I see the quilts up for donation and many of them are geared towards infants or toddlers. I really wanted to focus on making quilts for the older kids because I think that they are too often forgotten. So, I am excited about this unisex design that could work for any age. I definitely will make another one of these.
I have one more quilt ready to bind. I will hopefully finish that up this week amidst jam making and experimenting with new dinner recipes. Gotta figure out what I want to plant in the garden next as we are currently harvesting our little crop of cauliflower, broccoli, beets, and onions. Any suggestions?
Happy Crafting everyone!
Carrie! You are a very good writer. It is interesting and flows. I am enjoying your quilts and wish I lived closer so I could quilt with you. Of course, I would have to go to the 18 week class first. :)) You are very talented and I envy you having mastered so many interesting crafts.
