Hi everyone, it’s Millie here. Do you remember a while back when my mom showed pieces of fabric and asked if you could tell what it would be?
She has been working very hard on this project lately and I have been helping her along the way. She took all those parts and made them into two different blocks.
Then she had to lay them all out so she could sew them together to make the main part of the quilt. This is where she needed my help the most.
I had to make sure she was placing the Hour Glass blocks in the proper orientation. They all have to be in the same direction. I was also helping her by making sure none of the same fabrics were touching especially the light-colored ones.
Once she had the layout all set I knew she would need help to keep the blocks from flying off the bed. So I laid on them to hold them down.
Here are the blocks all sewn together. I think mom did a good job, but you know it wouldn’t have turned out this well without my help. Next up she has to add the borders. There are three different pieces to the border with one of them being made of flying geeseΒ which according to my mom is a lot of work. Well we better get back to work or this quilt won’t make itself.
Good job on making sure it was all held down and arranged properly! π
You know – your human is super talented!!! π
That is so pretty! I am so envious of your ability to create those beautiful quilts.
And to think I thought it was a cushion cover π

However, if it were not for you things would surely go floating away!!

Millie your mom would NEVER have gotten all of that RIGHT… WITHOUT your HELP. The colors are gorgeous.
My Mommy is in love with this quilt. She LOVES quilts and she took a quilting class and used to do quilting. Your Mom is inspiring her to do it again.
It is really beautiful.

I love this quilt! Great colors! I think the Flying Geese will look awesome on the border.
Wow! I am REALLY taken with this one. I love when “scrappy” comes together so nicely. I laughed about making sure none of the same light colors were next to each other…boy I have I been there.
