Fri-yay Check In

 It’s still cold. Too cold, although it is supposed to warm up a little today.

I was poking around on instagram looking at temperature quilts. Should I make one? I thought about it at one time (during the summer), and thought no, it would all be red and orange. I have been recording the daily highs and lows and will think about whether there is enough variation to make it worthwhile. 

I did get this done: 

The picture is taken in my house, so the lighting is a little weird. I will take it to the shop and add it to the “to be quilted” stack(s). It turned out pretty big—73” x 81”. I wasn’t really expecting it to be quite that large. 

I have a commission quilt to do for a customer. It’s 16 embroidered blocks made by a long gone family member. 

The blocks were folded up and stored for quite a while, so it is a challenge to get the creases out. Once they are ironed, I am trimming them to 14-1/2”.

I was also given the original instructions, and she wants me to keep the general measurements but change the colors.

I will post more pictures when I get a little farther along.
