Dear Liza,
When I finished sewing curtains and walking in the sunshine the other day, I counted my pieced and embroidered crazy quilt blocks.
There are almost 100!!! When laid out in a 10 by 10 square (ish), they cover about a five foot by five foot area. I am so pleased!
I love how the colors, shapes and embroidery work together. I love the “aerial photograph of a fantasy world” look. I love the map-ish-ness of it. I want to get tiny and go for long walks on this quilt.
Cousin Kestrel has even been doing some embroidery when she comes by, and Auntie Katie, too.
Auntie Bridgett cut me a strong template from an old book cover (left from our friend Melody Bush’s book excavation art) so I can make sure the blocks are straight and even before sewing them together.
But is it enough? I still have enough fabric to make more blocks, and there is certainly no hurry to finish it. Hmmmmmmm….
I will take a break, think on it, and let you know soon.
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
