Because she has been very stressed recently with a number of things, I decided to give her the quilt I have been holding for her until her show in two weeks:
I started this way back in February for the last quilt project day that we had, but lost interest in it because it sort of bored me.  It is a slash and shuffle quilt and it is "quilted as you go", which utilized the fancy stitches I have on my machine.  That was very boring. I had the blocks made for months, but the stitching was boring.  Because I am on a path to finish all projects that I have started, I was determined to finish it.  I have had it wrapped and hidden for about a month now.
She actually knew I was making it, because after I started with the black and white theme, I asked her if she wanted a pink accent or a blue accent because I made it for her bedroom here at home.
She painted and decorated her room before she left for freshman year of college.  It was all her choice and I really love how it turned out.  She has quite an eye for this stuff.  Sometime, I will show Catie's room and what she did to her room before she went to college.Today is project day. The anticipation is killing me!!!
