When my daughter, Jessica, was a young girl, she and I designed a patriotic quilt for her to sew. She chose her fabrics, and she cut and pieced all of the blocks.
Now those blank squares were not meant to be blank. Jessica wanted to fill them with appliqued American symbols.
She found symbols in coloring pages and other places and applique proceeded slowly.
Very slowly.
A lot of life has happened, including courtship, marriage, and three children. She is becoming an accomplished photographer with her own website.
A move across the country motivated Jessica to dig into her UFOs and pull out this patriotic project to finish.
Now the flimsy is back in my house. I have the honor to quilt it for my daughter.
I have it pin basted and ready for quilting.
This will be one of those New Year’s resolutions.
Or maybe I will wait until she moves back to my side of the country.
Quilt On!
