Last year at this time, Gwen, one of the SANDS’ quilters started this project…It was a kit that she bought at the Road to California. She thought it would be a fun project to work on every Wednesday while at the Sands…Personally I thought it would be a project that you would work on till you went stark raving mad!
Can you see the wee little blocks…they were all paper pieced?
Every week Gwen would work away at these little triangles…
Well, a year later and several blocks later… look at this quilt NOW!
Gwen DID IT!! Isn’t it incredible!!
I threw a penny on it so that you could see how wide each strip is…1/4 of an inch!! YIKES!!
You really have to admire a quilter who can stick with it and get the job done…
and not go crazy in the process!! Wow…STUNNING! Good for you, Gwen!! You got ‘er done…well almost!
What a great day in paradise…It was a gorgeous HOT day……Perfect pool weather which means getting the dreaded bathing suit on!! The day I’ve been dreading! YIKES! All that snow white flesh…not a pretty sight!! So after donning the suit and wrapping my sarong around my waist and then tying my huge beach towel around my body, just in case the sarong should fall off…I waddle off to the pool. Of course there are tons of people lounging around the pool…WATCHING…At water’s edge I drop the towel, then the sarong and bound in before I can hear any gasps! Whew! I’m in…think I’ll just float around until everyone goes home…The first time is always the hardest…
Have a Fun Friday and Happy Quilting!~P
PS…Have they gone home yet?

That is stunning - and I would be stark raving mad long before I finished it, kudos to Gwen!
ReplyDeleteSweetie, be confident in your bathing suit - play in the pool like a kid - ENJOY it! I'm so jealous I can't tell you.
Wow! I bought that pattern several years ago and never have tried to attempt it. Hers is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHats off to Gwen - Beautiful Well Done work of love.
ReplyDelete"Hey, you, lady (whistle sound) out of the pool!"
Absolutely Beautiful! Can you tell us the name of the pattern and if it might still be abailable? Wound be fun to try.

Gwen's quilt is beautiful (She is a very patient woman).
ReplyDeleteI hope that your fingers and toes did not get too pruned by having to wait...lol
That quilt is absolutely gorgeous! What a dedicated quilter. You still in the water??
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing! I was wondering what those triangles would become! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt. I sure would like to know the name of the quilt pattern. Could you let me know? Thanks

Stunning.
ReplyDeleteIt's grey, cold and wet here today so I'm so jealous that you get to spend time in a pool
Love and hugs Gina xxx
It's OK, they've all gone, you can come out now.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is amazing. I don't think I'd have had the patience. How does Gwen plan to quilt it? Surely not SID in every seam? That would take forever and a day I should think.
kudos to Gwen for sticking with that one!..wow..you can come out now..I am sure it wasn't as bad as you made it out to be!..just a bit chilly now are you!?..tomorrow will be easier..soon your virgin white skin will have some colour!!!
ReplyDeleteYep, Brenda and I were remarking out here in the AZ desert that we were both in some serious need of some sun--too much winter white. That little quilt is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteStunning
ReplyDeleteWow. That is amazing. Would love to know the pattern and the finished size.
ReplyDeleteThat is one beautiful little quilt. I love doing Miniatures and would love to find his pattern. Could you please ask Gwen the pattern name and publishing company so I could try to track it down? Sounds like others would like the same info. Thanks so much. Love your blog by the way...
