This old quilt!

This gorgeous blue Quilt is gracing my bed.  I made it 18 years ago for my parents. They had a Murphy Bed in the apartment inside their shop/metal building and needed one that didn't hang down on the sides.  Their Murphy bed was king size so the quilt was long for that.  Now on my bed this beauty is sideways.  It is not quite long enough to completely hide my electric blanket but that's ok.  I just love this!


This week I put together the disappearing 9 patch block from @thecraftyquilter.  (Thecraftyquilter.com). She held a QAL that I couldn't resist.  It would have made a really nice queen size Quilt but I chose to make it into 2 lap quilts.  I always have such a need for lapquilts and my supply is very low.   They are my very favorite color combination - blue and purple.  Paired with a white background, it just pops.


Besides making these this week, I've completed 6 couch caddy's for the NP Comforts group.  We need 250 by Christmas to give to the Meals on Wheels recipients in our area.

I'm hoping to get to Quilt a couple tops this week.  I better hurry!  The week is zooming by!
