Jason's Quilt

Oooh..

the power of facebook..
Other than sucking me into the world of Candy Crush..

It has done many things for me..

like connecting me to old friends I haven't seen in years..

Like Jason.

He used to hang out in our little 'group'

not the popular kids but not the outcasts either..

I like to think looking back that our group was the middle class..

 

Jason has since moved to Sunny Florida..

 

While I look out the window and see this...

 

Jason had asked me many moons ago

if I would make him a quilt..

I've been collecting fabric for it since..

 

I started out making the log cabin blocks..

48 of them using 2 1/2 inch strips.

 

I kept sewing my strips on until I had just the right amount..

I made the pattern up using 'Quilt Wizard'

While 'Quilt Wizard' is like the EQ7 line of software

it's not nearly as expensive...

 

Next I started sewing my blocks into strips..

Until.....

I had this..

 

It's a bit larger than I thought it would be,

but with using 2 1/2" strips it had to be..

I'm quite happy with it.

I'm going to add a 1" border of black around the outside

then, another possibly 3 or 4" border of brown around that..
