Soy Amado No. 51

Technically it's not summer any more.

Technically that means I was going to be doing more quilting.

Truthfully, summer is still hanging on in there and as long as it does, I'm afraid my sewing room is just not calling me.

I did manage Soy Amado No. 51 though.


It's got quite a few (but not all) blocks that were originally made to 12". I kept them back, thinking that eventually there would be enough for a 12" quilt block quilt.



Eventually I gave up on that idea and cut down some 12 1/2" blocks to the same size to make Soy Amado No. 51



It has the insanely gorgeous rainbow, flying geese, paper piecing skills of Kelly.



Which will mean I will find it very hard to send it on its way.


But I will.

  2. How fun to see Number 51 and I was pleased to see one of my blocks in there. I agree with you, though, summer rules over sewing. :-)

  3. Wow - 51 is stunningly amazing. I am on charity quilt number 22 and thrilled with myself but I have been watching your work and am stunned with the effort etc that you put in. Those kids are going to love it.

  6. Those rainbow geese are gorgeous. Love the way the backs look on these too though. And glad you're hanging on to Summer a bit longer, so are we!
