Quilt Status

My quilting friends know that I brought my basket quilt to England. This is a major project, one that has been on my list for at least a couple of years; I've lost count. The top is done and the three layers all basted together...ready for me to hand quilt. The truth is, however, that other projects have found their way to the head of the list, and the basket quilt has stood waiting. This trip provides the perfect opportunity to change all that. I don't have a sewing machine here, and the cooler weather in England makes sitting under a quilt much more pleasant than it would be in the Sunny South. So I have added an item to the left side of the blog and labeled it "Quilt Status". There, my sister quilters can keep track of my progress, and I (having to own up to whatever progress is or is not made) may find motivation to keep me stitching! To establish a baseline, none of the thirty-two basket blocks had been quilted when I arrived.
