For those of you who have been following my blog... I'm quite sure you will recognise this quilt... It's been going on and off for 12 months now and to be honest, I'm thinking you are probably tired of seeing it!! I am blogging about it here though because it's a very personal quilt for me... one that I started before my (lets just say) "big life change" and one that I haven't (until now) had the inclination nor inspiration to pick up and continue...
I finally had the courage to pull it down from my shelf last week and I decided it was too beautiful to leave with any bad memories... Lolly Logs is indeed, like me, making a comeback!!
I have so far, added the sashings and it's now ready for the quilt sandwich.. (Quilt As You Go)... Here's a sneak peek of a couple of rows... The finished quilt will be 5 rows x 4 and fairly large when complete... I really should have ironed the rows before taking the photos!!
"Funny" how a quilt can hold so many memories and how those memories can come flooding back when all you do is pick up a piece of fabric... I spent one day on it last week and let me just say, it was a box of tissues day!! I do feel though, this is one quilt I
need finish... one that I
need to conquer... one that I
need to deal with and one that I
need to face head on... very therapeutic I guess!! I'll let you know how I get on but please be patient :-) Lx
