Q is for….
Quilt, of course.
These are all quilts that I’ve made (although one of them remains incomplete–it’s got about another 15% of quilting to do, and an edging sewn on). That one, and the mosaic sunflower were both machine-pieced, but all the others–and all the quilting–were done by hand. I really much prefer sewing them by hand.
For the mosaic wall hanging, though, there wasn’t time. It was for a wedding gift, and I only found out about the wedding four months before it happened, and it was due exactly the same weekend as the quilt I was making for my nephew’s bed. It was quite a rush, there, to get them both finished . . . and not surprisingly, that was the last time I quilted at all until four years ago when I started the Eternally-Unfinished one heaped in the corner of my bedroom. For some reason, I felt just a little burned out on the quilting thing for a while!
Oh–and for a couple other “Q”s I thought about:
Quest. Or, Quiet.

Yay quilting! Yay lotr books!
As always, great choices for your letter! Your quilts are lovely.
You should get a prize for consistently being the first person to do a letter!! I can’t worry about Q yet, I’m still stuck on O!
Good Qs, tho.
The quilts are lovely. I don’t think I knew that you quilted–and did piecing by hand, no less!
Of course, Q is for quilts. And yours are great. This is going to be my Q, too, and I suspect many others will follow along.
Hi there-
Great quilts. I used to do that before knitting and spinning !

Beautiful quilts!
