Often, I need a day or two to come up with an idea to suit the challenge but this week’s prompt about facing your fears resonated on the second idea. I usually toss around ideas for the first and second day, then get down to sewing.
My first thought was fusible applique.. this technique really scares me! But my next thought was of another project that has been lurking in my sewing room. I put my late husband’s shirts away with the intention to make quilts for the girls and me and, honestly it’s been hard to think of taking scissors to them. Of course, it’s another late night finish so here’s a quick late-night picture of with Milo making an appearance. I think he approves!

More in the morning! So, here’s the better picture…

The wind was gusting just enough to make getting a photo tricky and Milo has apparently bonded with this one! Although, when asked, I’ve always said that the cats’ favorite quilt is always the one I’m currently working on. The pattern is Scrappy Mountain Majesty which is a free pattern at Bonnie Hunter’s Quiltville website.

I’m glad I had the PQ challenge to push me along it this. It was a tough emotional project but I love the end result. It’s been a great season of Project Quilting and I’m grateful for all of Kim and Trisha’s work to put this together!
Happy quilting,
Beth
