Dear Liza,
With the holiday / sick in bed season over, I can get back to some projects I love. The Crazy Quilt, for example.
Here is my progress so far. 75 blocks pieced out of the 120 I will need, and all but 15 of them have been embroidered. In the picture, there are 20 blocks in each baggie. So, mathematically speaking, I am more than half way done! (With the “block making” step, there are a half dozen more).
I am getting more inventive in my piecing, using tiny scraps to make bigger chunks to apply. This uses up the tiny scraps and also gives a nice contrast of large and small pieces.
I am also having fun with the embroidery, following some curving lines and generally making things up as I go along. I am really enjoying it!
I like how some of the blocks are like their own little work of art, and how others look like an aerial photograph of a really interesting farm.
I’ll keep you posted on the progress!
Love,
Grandma Judy
