My Mom turned 70 in May this year as well, that is another quilt story. Anyways, back to my brother...
I saw this quilt on the cover of the August issue of BHG's American Patchwork and Quilting and thought of my brother Jim right away. I thought this would be a great pattern for him. He lives in Texas, which is very sunny and well he is turning 50 this year so I wanted to do something special for him. He is a very special guy.
Here are some pictures of what I am doing so far.
This is a picture of the quilt, if you didn't see that magazine.
The pattern.
The fabrics for the points.
Piecing.
Here are some of the completed half circles. I need to add the centers and the outside edge to finish the block. I am doing all of the paper piecing first.
Here is a completed block.
I need to make 64 blocks for the quilt top. I have one complete block and 17 half circles done. It is coming together pretty well.
At this rate he might get it for Christmas. :)
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day.
