Commemorative Quilts at Quilting Gallery

I've entered the quilt that I made in honor of my friends' son, Jason Tennies, in this week's contest at Quilting Gallery.  (For the background info, click here .)

If you can take a minute, click on over to Quilting Gallery & vote for "Jason's Guitar"!

Thanks everyone!!!

Happy Quilting!

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.
