So, now that Faith Olive's quilt is done, I decided to move on to my next one. It's got 3 houses and a church and is made entirely from 2 1/2 inch strips cut into different sizes. I guess they call that a "Jelly roll", but I didn't buy the roll that the pattern is supposed to be made with. I didn't like it, so I decided to trail blaze and go off on my own tangent. (What, me make things more difficult and weird??) I picked out my own fabrics and made it completely different. The shapes of the houses are the same, but that's about it. I am so glad I did! It's going to be so cute. This one is for my Mommy. I think it's very her and that she'll love it. :) I'll post again later on down the line as it comes together more. This is just the begining stages.

Quilts galore!
So, Faith Olive's quilt is finally finished! It took longer than I thought, but I am so pleased with the way it turned out! I love it. I hope she will too. :) I'm going to mail it out to her next week. With all this volcano spewage though, I hope it will get to her by her birthday...next month! Hee hee. Check out how it turned out:

Such a beautiful quilt. Mom is the quilter, well my sisters are too but they didn't add to their families in their forties--I'm busy with preschoolers, at least that's my excuse. Just want to let you know that you've been "surfed" Drop on over to my blog to see what that means. ~verna
I am loving that church and those houses! Did you ever mail Olive's quilt off? It's kind of hard to shove quilts into a box and give them to a stranger at a counter. I gave the postal worker a good, hard look when I did, like sending a telepathic message of "I'm onto you."
How are you feeling?
