Meanwhile, I have been coloring on this design... inspired by a wool quilt from the 1880s that is in the Victoria and Albert Museum. The original quilt was made by a soldier!!
I don't really know how big this will get - I just keep taping on more graph paper as it grows... but I'm having lots of fun...
In the article about the original quilt, it said that during the 1880s, soldiers were encouraged to take up quilting AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO DRINKING AND GAMBLING!!!!!
NOW I KNOW WHY WE QUILT!!!!! YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hubby was teasing me the other day about how much time I was spending in the sewing room and I told him it keeps me outta the tavern.
