It's March, wow!

With our lack of snow this winter it's hard to fathom it's already March! I just hope the rain comes at the right times for farming through the spring and early summer.

I want to try something new, posting a quilt related photo a day. I got this idea from both my daughter Lisa's 365 photo project last year and my friend Sharon. Now obviously I can't make a quilt a day, but I have lots and lots of quilts to choose from. I have an overflowing linen closet of quilts and they are all over my house as well. I usually have between 30-35 on display at any one time. I have been quilting for 23 years and spent a few years being quite prolific. I started out with machine pieced, hand quilted bed quilts and would manage to do a few a year. Then I discovered wallhangings and from there machine quilting and wow I could make a lot more things! I am one of those that calls anything that has a top, batting and backing, and is finished a quilt, no matter the size.

I just randomly went into my files of projects worked that haven't been posted here yet. This quilt top is one I assembled last fall from some swap blocks. I was thrilled with how it came out with the different size leaves. I'm not a fall colors person, but since I decorate for the seasons this will fit well if I ever get it quilted!
