1600 Quilt, Giveaway Winner, Picnic

Since Mother finished the FourSquare String Quilt, she started another one with the left over strings of my "Spring Storm."

She just sewed the ends of the strips together  for a 1600 quilt only…

I think it’s more like a 3072 quilt.aa5

I think she was both surprised and pleased at how fast it went together.

I need to cut some borders for her, and then I think it will almost be a twin size.

And the winner for my fabric giveaway is #111.

HI! IT'S THE ROSEBUD PINEAPPLE!
THANKS FOR A LOVELY GIVEAWAY!
HAPPY STITCHING


 
Congratulations, Linda!
 
I found it interesting to see my readers favorites of my NQOF quilts. I'm guessing that "A Plate of Pineapples" and "Pharoah's Tombs" were chosen the most.  Thank you everyone for your comments and participation. A Plate of Pineapples won a blue ribbon last week at QuiltFest in Pigeon Forge.
 
And "Pharoah's Tombs" and "Ezekiel Saw the Wheel" were both on exhibit at the AQS Show in Lancaster, but no ribbons there!

Saturday I took Kirby, Stacy, and Ashton for a picnic…

Later I took a walk while the boys rode their bikes.  First Kirby’s pant leg got caught in the chain.

Then his chain came off. And later the riding got too hard for Stacy & Ashton. I was glad to get back to the house where the boys could play quietly in the living room and I could get back to my quilting!

How nice to see the sweet photos of your mother - you are so blessed to have her with you. It's apparent that her quilting keeps her young!

What gorgeous quilts - the pineapple quilt deserved that blue ribbon! And I love your outdoor photos - you have Spring where you live. YES! It's lurking out there.

My mother stayed for a visit in the early winter and we sewed our 1600 inch quilts. She used Christmas fabrics and I used assorted prints. Lots of fun. The one your mother pieced is lovely.
