Cleaned out some scraps this past weekend and decided it was time to start on a quilt from my bucket list: Grandmother's Flower Garden. People tell me that this is an addictive quilt and that you can't make just one, LOL! Oh well. Good thing I have PILES of scraps around here!⁠

My very talented son whipped this up for me from his scrap lumber. The top is redwood, the bottom is some exotic wood for which I can't remember the name. (I'll ask him again and post in a comment later.) Foot grippers on the bottom keep it from slipping. Found it very handy last night while I did a little hand binding.⁠

A lot of people say to me, "Oh I could never make

A lot of people say to me, "Oh I could never make a quilt." I smile and remember when I thought that. With my first quilt I learned a valuable lesson - it's a process. You don't sit down and say "I'm going to make a quilt today" and two hours later cuddle up under it on the couch. You make small bits of progress over a long period of time. First you zero in on a pattern design that you find pleasing, then you make fabric and color choices. Carefully you cut and assemble blocks. Usually I'm having so much fun I hardly notice the progress I've made until that day when I've put the finishing touches on the binding and realize I'm holding a piece of my life in my hands. ⁠
⁠
If I had started off analyzing of all the time and workout would take me to make a quilt, I might have been too overwhelmed to even start. But I first envisioned how nice it would be to have that quilt to keep me (or someone else) warm, and each day I just kept my mind on the present-day choices, the little things I could do each day to make progress towards the beautiful thing I had pictured in my mind.⁠
⁠
It's a good analogy for life, too. Take one day, one step at a time, keeping in mind that each of those steps brings you just a little bit closer to where you want to end up.⁠
