What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

After Grandma (my dad’s mom) passed in 2006, my mom brought home one of her quilts. It’s been sitting in her linen closet ever since, though she did take it out a couple of times because I wanted to see it, touch it, and give it a little love. When Mom passed in 2017, the quilt stayed tucked away, only coming out once until now...and that time was because of me again.

 I've been puttering around, sewing the wedges together from a project that got cut too small. It just seems like a waste to have it sit in the orphan totes forever. The plan is to hand applique these wheels to a background block and then figure out a center circle fabric. Perhaps blue? Some of the Dresdens are a little bit wonky, but I'm crossing my fingers the hand work will ease it out.
