It has been almost a month since I've blogged. I had a couple of bad weeks where I did almost nothing but nap, but I've got an extra week off chemo, and I'm starting to feel better.
Right after I finished the Storm At Sea quilt, I started a guitar quilt for one of my nephews. Jillian Yohn designs under the name Refine and Shine Design. I am using her Guitar Trio Quilt Pattern Pack ( acoustic, folk and electric). This is not a paper pieced pattern, but uses the same type of piecing that Sew Fresh Designs or Elisabeth Hartman uses. The cutting is intense, but the blocks go together quite easily. I am only using the electric guitar pattern because I can use wild colors this way.
I need fifteen guitars. So far, I've made eleven.
He has an interest in lots of things and is very social, but nothing stands out for me when I am trying to decide what type of quilt to make him. His brother was going into the Air Force, so I made him a plane quilt. The nephew who spends hours fishing got a fish quilt. My BIL who believes in aliens, got a space quilt. If you have any suggestions, what to do for the nephew I am blanking on, let me know.
