New Quilt Top

Yesterday I made my first Turning 20 quilt top. They go really fast and are fun to make. These were popular a few years back, however I just never got around to trying one. I needed a quick gift so in my search for patterns I came across the Turning 20 quilt book. Perfect!! I did have to get more fat quarters to make it look right. When they say 20 different fabrics or fat quarters take it to heart because it really works much better that way. I tried to double up on a few fabrics and it really didn't look quite right. Here is a picture of the top.

 
 
 
My day quilt guild is meeting on Thursday so plan on taking it to a quilter then. I need it ready to give as a gift on May 18th! Wish me luck!!
 
I have decided to offer sewing space for quilters to come sew at my studio. I am located in a small town only 20 to 30 minutes away. I have had some ladies ask about doing this, so am going to give it a try. Sometimes it is easier to get much more accomplished away from all of the distractions of home.
 
Spring has finally sprung here. The flowering trees & tulips have been beautiful!!
 
 
 
My granddaughter took the above picture of these beautiful pink and white tulips. I love tulips, sure wished they lasted longer. Another favorite flower of mine is the Iris, they are putting out buds now, so it won't be long now before they will be blooming.
 
Blessings to All,
Jan
