A fund-raising quilt for the Jason Tennies Memorial Foundation - the beginnings.

And away we goooooo....!!!!

This is my first sketch for the quilt:


Next I used my cool Inktense pencils to make a color sketch.
I actually only did half of it, then scanned it, copied & flipped that half & joined it together so I could fit it all on one page.

The colors don't show up very well in this photo.

Then Sara & I went to Ginger's Quilt Shoppe in Upland, CA & bought the fabrics.
Since I don't have a dryer just now,
Sara took it all home with her & prewashed everything.
Then she sewed together all the Nine-Patch blocks,
and brought them to me.



And I cut them all apart again!





Now it's my turn to start sewing.

Happy Quilting!

  1. Found you from Sarah's blog. This looks like it's going to be a really neat quilt! It looks like it's going to have a stained glass effect. Very cool!
