Another Finish

 I have another finish.  WooHoo!  This quilt was made in memory of my husband's and my trip to Alaska.  I picked up a fabric bundle of "Alaska" fabrics at the Quilted Raven quilt shop in Anchorage.  And using a simple sashing, pieced them together.  I also add a picture of us in Anchorage.  It really was an amazing trip.


My father-in-law made me this quilt rack.  However, he didn't think about how I would hang the quilt and the rod doesn't come out.  So I have added tabs to most of the quilts I make for this area.  I happened to come across these curtain hangers that are perfect.  So it will make the change out even faster.


These rings are the best!

Week 20 Of Project 52

Here we are on Week 20 of Project 52!  Time flies by so fast.  This weeks project is Memories of Alaska 2011.  I bought a little sampler pack of Alaska fabrics, but I don't remember how big the squares were.  These are a few of the fabrics. 


I trimmed them down to 6.5 inch squares and have added a sashing on one side.  The quilt will be based on this pattern: "Hide and Seek" by Jessica Darling for Villa Rosa Designs.


But I don't have 30 squares nor do I have 20 squares.  And that's why this project stopped.  We'll see what I can figure out to get this quilt to the finish line.
