Just Keep Sewing

I finally finished a quilt since my mom passed away. It's hard because when I sew I think of her. It's harder because when I run into a problem and have a question I'd always call and ask her. I think she could sew anything. I started this one at the beginning of the summer but mom only ever saw pictures of it in the beginning stages.

The idea is from Quick Quilts (Aug/Sept 2010). Here's a picture of the original.



And here I go....





I used a jelly roll of Love You by Deb Strain for Moda, a solid pink and a white on white polka dot.

I tried a couple of new techniques out in this quilt. The weaving, attaching and quilting at the same time, and raw edge binding. I still need to wash it so all the raw edges will fray.




I'm so thankful my mom taught me to sew. Her memory is in every stitch.
