Between the rain, hail, air-raid-sirens, and other assorted drama that happens during tornado season (and some bad news not associated with it) yesterday, I was able to spend a lot of time sewing --at least between my feeble attempts to get my puppy to relieve herself. The same puppy who will jump into a body of water on command but will not under any circumstances relieve herself in any amount of rain.

made from French General's La Petite Ecole line which is a baby gift for some friends of ours. I'm hoping to get it laid out tomorrow and a finished quilt top by the end of the holiday weekend here in the States.

All of the fabrics including the background fabric (Kona in Maize) come from my stash. I think we (and I really mean my mother) will try to machine this quilt too (because she loves me and doesn't hate machine quilting as much as I do), so we can see how this quilt top may look if we quilt the pinwheels as well. So by August, I may have THREE examples of this quilt to show you :)
