I'm quilting this:

My inspiration for those square in a square quilt blocks is
here. I've been looking at these Welsh quilts for about 6 months. I love that leaf shape but haven't used it yet. In fact I spent my going to sleep time reviewing the leaf in my mind and trying to fit it on the quilt in the frame. This morning I realized the spiral will work better.
In my efforts to turn this:

into quilts I pieced the border of the Christmas string/library quilt. Seen here laying on my bed ready for the borders to be sewn on.


I tried to use mediums for the border. Then I'll sew a Christmas book plus scraps for the back. Decided to make a label as part of the back with space to have grandkids sign each time they sleep under it.
Looks like I'll still have fabric left.

Sometimes it seems that you make a scrap quilt, the scraps somehow multiply!
What a great idea to have the grandkids sign the quilt each time they sleep under it. Won't that be fun to look at 50 years from now!
I just LOVE your Texas Star and pillows...all the thread is just gorgeous!
