We finally had a sunny day to take some pictures for my Beautiful Things project! This quilt was more than a decade in the making and woo! What a comedy of errors. Not all of the blocks are equal in size, some of the pinwheels were made going in the wrong direction, and I even sewed the bias tape on backwards! Even so, I’ll remember it always as the first quilt I worked on with my daughter. It will be carefully tucked away until we have a sweet baby (or a grandbaby someday!) come to visit.
