I tried something new by attempting a Block of the Month. It is making a quilt blind. Someone gives you hints on what to you need to make their version of a quilt. I bought my fabric, Robert Kaufman's, Imperial Medallion. This Block of the Month had 2 blocks - Dancing with the Stars and Scottie Dog. Once I had all the blocks made I decided to Quilt As You Go without sashing. This is where the Hate/Love relationship developed. Trying something new only slowed me down. The fear of what have I got myself into was over whelming . Another friend just told me, " You can do this!" With a little push I quilted maybe only 2 blocks a night. In the end I love this quilt. It came out so beautiful. I learned a lot of quilting techniques and I learned a lot about myself. I am celebrating with joy and now onto my next project. . . . . .

My grandson asked me if he had to wait until he got married to get a quilt. Needless to say, he got a quilt. He is a musician and I found this cute fabric with guitars which is perfect for him.

This quilt was a little bit time consuming piecing all those 1" inch and 2" squares together. But the effort and time was all worth it, my grandson who loves playing minecraft absolutely loved the quilt, he especially loved the back which I made just like the "portal" in the game.
