quilt beginnings

I have been loving all of moonstitches' in-progress shots of her quilt-to-be. The progress of quilts, particularly block quilts, is so interesting because while the beginning might be simply beautiful by itself, the mystery of the placement, arrangement, and size of the growing and final quilt is fabulous. I guess I love a reveal.

I'm starting a quilt. (See?) I've also been working on Beebs' quilt enough that I have sore hands. I don't think I will ever hand quilt another bed quilt, but I am glad I am hand quilting this one.

This picture is just so I can show how how much Beebs' cat loves her. She likes to sleep on her neck, especially when Beebs hasn't been feeling well. Oh, terrible cuteness.

hopefully, seeing your quilt in progress will inspire me to start one too. I love the colors you've chosen and I can't wait to see how it goes.

Your chosen colours are really beautiful, Dorie. Looks like this is going to be one of the quilts I'd like to have living with me.. that gingham is so pretty!
It's true what you say about block quilts. They are a mystery, it seems by deciding on a block it is somewhat clear what the quilt will look like in the end, but actually you do not know at all. That's why I become more and more excited at the moment, in a few days I will have some blocks to play with and get an actual impression of the quilt to be.
Looking forward to see your quilt developing!

I'm working on a quilt too and will post some "while working pictures" soon in my blog. I adore quilts, but it takes for ever to do one! :-) Your photos are so cute!
