this is the beginning of a new quilt
using heather ross' far far away 2 fabric.
i love it.
i love it because athena and i
are having a quilting bee
between the two of us.
the basic idea is that we each make two blocks
keep one and send the other.
at the end will have enough blocks
to have the exact same quilt.
well, the same components.
i am sure we will lay them out differently
and use different colors for the sashing.
or maybe we wont.
we are also writing a little diddy
about why we chose each block.
this one is called southern belle.
we are calling the quilt
the friendship quilt.
athena is my gift from cooper.
and i thank him every day
for sending her my way.
though we live far far away
from each other.
and have never met.
i feel like i have known
her my whole life.
i can not wait until her
visit to NY in the fall.
stay tuned.
this quilt is going
to be AMAZING.
That sounds fun...I think it would be nice if when you went to Texas...get you, Athena and SG to meet...I think they would like each other and she is a good person to have on your side in Texas...xoxo
