Part 2
First off, I researched quilts and techniques. I lean toward a quilt that is appliquéd. This French term means one layer of fabric is placed over another layer of fabric and sewn in place. This appeals to my design instincts and I did a computer version of the design first. I know I should just do a simple patchwork quilt as a rookie, but I am not content with simple.
Right now I’m not sure how much I’ll show of the process. This might be the last you read of it until the quilt is complete. However, if progress is fulfilling, I’ll share. I have made field trips to scope out fabric, and I loved traipsing through rows of rolls and bolts. Not one item was purchased at first for after all, this was research.

My mother loved to quilt and her and Miss Bee quilted a nice one we use in our Georgia Home. Oh, by the way, did you know dem dawgs can play that round ball.......
I have never done any quilting. My mother used to make me clothes when I was very little and I remember walking through the fabric store and loving all the different fabrics and designs. Good luck with your project.

My MS peeps want to make a quilt, but none have a clue how to do it, funny.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Diane,
You and your MS friends should jump in. It would be a great project.
