Starting is easy, continuing is hard.

So much for starting a blog! I guess if we were all able to continue what we started, there would be a lot more skinny people!

As soon as I started this, I decided to buy a longarm quilting machine. It's been an educational experience, but I'm loving it! It's so much fun to be able to finish all my quilts.

So, now you can see what I've been up to.

This quilt was made for a friend who kept me well supplied with chocolate last year. Maybe I should have made her a brown one?

This is the front. The pattern is Taking Turns by Happy Zombie and it's so easy to make. I made this in a weekend.

I love to use up all the last pieces, so I included the extra strip on the back.

I really wanted to see if I could figure out how to center the back with the front. It took me about 4 hours of staring at it before I finally came up with the solution and I think it worked pretty well.
