Traditional Procrastination

Here's a peek at a project that
I've known has been coming for years.
I didn't wait until the very last minute...
but I'm cutting it close.


It's my in-law's 50th anniversary this August.

This quilt top has been unpicked many times. At first, I just had the pink sashing, but the rows were not lining up as hard as I tried. So we (the girls) unpicked the sashing (I told them I'd put their names on the label if they unpicked it all). I added the white cornerposts and then they weren't exactly the right white, so did a little bit of more unpicking. But it's done. Everything lines up now.

The quilt is at the quilter's!
Check that off the list.
My mother in law is very traditional. I think she'll love it.
I should probably make my father in law his own quilt,
but that wasn't on the list :-).

I don't think any of my in-laws read the blog,

but in case you do know them,

shhhhhh.
