Sneak Peek of Contest Quilt






Thank you to all that emailed asking where I'd been. I've been here, just a little busy. It's only been 2 1/2 weeks, but I sure do appreciate your interest and concern. As you know - I'm entering a quilt in a national contest - and I've been busy working on that. I showed you a peek at the colors in my last post - but I've switched those about a little and taken the darker ones out. I like the way it is coming along.

I have to have it hand quilted (since I don't machine quilt - and only one person can work on the quilt) before Dec. 18 - I think I can make it.


Here are some peeks at the work in progress.


And one more . . .

And one last one - some wrinkly hearts - first order of business today is to press the hearts - and then . . .

to be continued . . .

    You are such a tease Jo, leaving us to wonder how you will incorporate those pretty hearts! And I know you said slow poke quilting, but I think you're awful fast. ~Lili

    I just love the colors in the peek-a-boo glimpse of your quilt. Good luck in the contest. I enjoyed reading through your other comments too, and the duck pictures are great.
