quilting

my mom is the master quilter. and since i am genetically programmed to follow in my mother's footsteps (and my mother has morphed into my grandmother....and life comes full circle) i have made a few quilts in the past few years that actually don't look too bad. i started with the yellow and green 'round the world' baby quilt i made for my friend *HH*'s baby. then came the red, green, brown, and cream ragtime lap quilt that i shopped at the irma quilt store for. followed closely by the totally random scrappy log cabin rag quilt. *HH* received a great ragtime lap quilt for christmas-i took it to irma to work on and my mother kind of took the reins and did most of the sewing herself.

i have not made a quilt in almost a whole year. last week i decided that it was time. i really wanted to make a quilt for *LB* who had always admired the red, green, brown, and cream ragtime lap quilt while visiting my house. she was excited about having a quilt made for her. so off we went to shop for fabric. at the second quilt store we finally found the right stuff. i think that this may be the best quilt i've made so far.....
