The "rebound" Picture Play quilt from my last post has been reinstated on Gregory's bed. He recreated the picture from six years ago, too. I told my daughter-in-law that he looked sad today, but she explained that he thought he looked like he did in the old picture! 😉 Okay, we'll go with that.Yesterday I finished piecing the central portion of his new, big boy quilt. It will get two more, narrow, outer borders before I go shopping for a backing piece. This went together beautifully. I used Deb Tucker's Studio 180 tools to mass-produce 140 Shaded 4-Patch units with the Tucker Trimmer and that same number of Wild Geese units with the Wing Clipper.
The quilt was designed in EQ8. Gregory selected the design from these three possible choices:
Initially, my plan was to make the quilt very scrappy using only tans, greens and blues; but, ultimately, I came up short (who woulda' thunk?) in the scrap department with such a limited palette. Let's hope when this new quilt is finished and on his bed that we'll see a much broader smile!🤞
Life is Good!
