2nd Turtle quilt finished, this is for our youngest grandson Wyatt who is three going on four. I'm going to get both of the finished turtle quilts boxed up and ready to ship payday. It's a good thing I like this pattern, I have several more to go!

I will be doing fewer pieced backs as I use up the large pieces of fabric that I have, the ones that I don't really want to use on the fronts of quilts. I'm happy I had them, I wouldn't have been able to finish so many quilts last year if I hadn't had them, but I do have to say using a sheet is a lot faster.

 Two more of the Fancy Nine Patch blocks ready for the outside pieces. The pink is from a dress I made for myself when Ambrosina was a baby. I never got back into it after Timothy was born.

This blue is left over from a dress I made when David and I were dating, that would have been in 1973. I think this is the last of it. I loved that dress; Ambrosina wore it when she was a teenager, she loved it too. Making this quilt is like looking through a photograph album and I feel young again; memories are flooding back and it's like reliving those days. How sweet life was when the children were young, we had such good times. Well, we have good times now with the grandchildren and our adult children. Grown up children can be a lot of fun too.

And speaking of grandchildren, I hear from the thunder over my head that the boys are home, time to say hello and see how their day went.
