The Cheveron

I can't believe that it has almost been a year, but it has. I have

proof.....here...silly blog making me all accountable.

 

 

So, if I must admit it, almost a year ago my, then 13yr old,

son requested a new quilt. We found a fabulous fabric

bundle at http://www.fabricworm.com/. He picked it

out and then asked, "can you make it a zigzag pattern".

kehehehe I remember my silly grin as I said chevron

under my breath.  

 

Then life got in the way and the bundle waited.

Other things were made and the bundle,

oh so patient,

waited.

Finally, last summer I cut out the blocks and used

a method I learned at retreat from Jenny of Missouri Quilt Co.

You simply put two squares together and sew the edges,

then cut an X and whoola you have 4

HST's. She has a tutorial on her site.

I talk more of my time with these amazing women

under retreat on the side bar.

So anyway, last Saturday I finished this top at midnight. YAY

 

My sweet, now 14yr old, requested minky for the back and

I hope to pick that up this weekend.

I am sure I will finish it next winter week.

 

I am particularly talented at starting a quilt and then

not finishing for a year or two later. Am I the only one with this

amazing skill set?
