Starting Indian Summer Isosceles Queen Quilt

Today I finished the first row of a new isosceles triangle quilt. This quilt is going to be 95 inches by 95 inches. Eeek! This will be the largest quilt I've ever done. I've gone from lap size quilts to queen size. I must be feeling confident.

Actually, I just love this fabric by Art Gallery Fabrics, Indian Summer, so much that this quilt must be big. Some Kona Cotton in Aqua blends nicely.

I also finished another swedish bloom block. I only need to make 14 more blocks. <I'm rolling my eyes at myself!>

I have been sewing up a storm today. I looked down, and my rain boots are still on. HaHaHa! I didn't even bother to take my boots off before sewing this morning. Live long and sew!

Swedish Bloom Block

I finally received the fabric I ordered about two weeks ago. I am so not patient <rolling my eyes>. Apparently, my fabric was involved in a train derailment somewhere in Texas. I think incidents like this only happen when I really want to start a new project. I had to wait, and wait <twiddling thumbs>. Last night the package showed up at 7 PM. I quickly put the Gingers to bed, and started cutting up fabric.

This is a foundation paper pieced swedish bloom block. I showed the finished block to Ginger #1, and she swooned..."I love it! That's sooo awesome!" How's that for job satisfaction?! This will go into a quilt for Ginger #1.

Have a great day!
