Made an adjustment here,
and an adjustment there,
and with a little input from my eagle-eyed Sweetie, settled into a final decision. You have to stop moving blocks around sometime or you will never get finished! More sewing together in store for today. Hope to get it completely sashed with cornerstones and ready for a border by the end of the day at least.
Another thing done to commemorate Leap Year 2012 was for purely hopeful reasons – to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease. I made a monetary donation to the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative in honor of my dear mother-in-law who is suffering through the latter stages of this terrible disease. You can find a link to the AAQI in my right side-bar. Be sure to visit and if you can, purchase a small quilt to further the cause of research for a cure.

Goodbye for now -
This quilt is just too fabulous for words!!! Love it!!! I know what you mean about moving blocks around you are so right! The only way to finish is to start sewing!

Your sashing is coming along WONDERFUL! This is going to be an amazing quilt!
ReplyDeleteHow good it must feel to be at this stage with your CW quilt! I'm still struggling to get one more extra block completed LOL!!! I love your different coloured cornerstones with the blue sashing, it looks great!!!!
ReplyDeleteSweet to have an eagle eyed assistant! Beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteI'm an AAQI supporter too - great organization.
Thank you for sharing!
You had a very productive Leap Year Day! The Arizona tape is pure Arizona. I don't think you would see any of those quilts else where. Such a strong statement in this era of everything everywhere --- wouldn't a book of these quilts be great for my "history" shelf.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the AZ quilts exhibit in person. Maybe a summer vacation trip?
DeleteYour top is looking great and you are making good progress. Well done! I have much to do, decided on a layout, just need to move it from my mind and onto the design wall! lol
ReplyDeleteLove your colors and your layout works the colors perfectly!

ReplyDeleteI like all three. But as the maker, I'm sure you see things very differently.
ReplyDeleteWe were just in Arizona in early February, but it was before the quilt exhibit opened. What rotten luck!
Thank you so much for sharing information about the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative! So sorry to hear about your mother-in-law - this is a horrible disease. I lost my Dad to Alzheimer’s in December of 2010 and have been committed to raising money for research through AAQI since he was diagnosed in 2006. I am a quilter and I love that the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative is a grass roots organization that is totally staffed by volunteers so that every available dollar can be used to fund research.
