Morrell blocks all together!!!


This morning I finished sewing all the blocks together for my Morrell Quilt!!! :)

Photography was a little difficult with the size of the quilt and the strength of the wind.

It was rather warm here today. It got to 43 C (about 110 F) in our backyard!


I hope 2011 is a healthy and prosperous year for all. ...... with lots of sewing time!!!

    Wow Wow Wow is all I can think to say--And I obviously am in a series of wow's. I can't believe you are doing this one and the Roseville and have this one completed. This is on my list of dream quilts, but I'm not brave enough to even start! Yours is very lovely!

    Miriam, I did intend to finish my Sarah in 2010 but fell short with 6 blocks to do, took on a project of someone elses who was having difficulty with a baby quilt. Your quilt is stunning and I have enjoyed seeing your progress with the blocks it has kept me focussed. What is next for you.Lesley
