Braid Parade Quilt
Posted By drsao on January 23, 2008
I have a new appreciation for our fore-mothers. The hand-pieced quilts of yesteryear were made with love and dedication. Here is my attempt at a hand pieced quilt – my parade of braids. This has taken a whole week and I have used many bandaids. I wonder if I will ever get good enough so that I won’t continually stab myself? At least blood doesn’t show up on these gorgeous pink and purple batiks! (I try to have a positive attitude at all times – and the truth is that I am really enjoying this project!)
Thanks to my friends at the Quilter’s Corner (Midlothian, VA), Marla and Ginger, for picking out the fabric for this quilt. It is going to be a surprise for my neice….and I certainly hope she doesn’t read my BLOG….LOL
Here are my first three braids!
