I remember watching my mother appliqueing when I was a child. I always wanted to learn but there just wasn't time. After the older children left home, I had more me time. I joined a quilt guild and they taught me. I love it!

I bought the book about the same time and have a box of fabrics I bought just for this quilt 6 years ago. It is on one of my to do lists. I tore all the pages out and punched holes into them and put them into a binder. Every once in a while, I pull it out and look at it longingly then am reminded what else I am doing. <br />I might be tempted to just jump in and start the thing. Wonder what I have for a background?Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/07754244941394074550noreply@blogger.com
