Today is National Quilting Day! If there’s a bright spot to this isolation, it’s that we can do more quilting!

I read about a Canadian group of women who are putting a quilt or two outside their homes to help celebrate National Quilting Day as they try to brighten the mood in their neighborhoods. Check them out here.

I’m still learning how to best photograph quilts in low lighting, so excuse these attempts, but I wanted to show you my most recent finished quilt. It was made with both a new pack of charm squares and leftover charms from other projects. I think it came out great. On this quilt, I tried a new pattern with half square triangles so it is a chevron on one row and diamonds on another. I may have to try this again as I have a lot of scraps I need to get rid of.

I also monogrammed the back corner – I’m learning to put a historical record on more of my work. I can’t remember things as well anymore, and this will definitely help. I really hope she enjoys her quilt.
