Jiggity Jig

Home again, home again,

Jiggity jig!

Its nice to be back on Cape Breton,

but it is still brown, windy, and cold here.
This morning's forecast is 34 degrees
and snow flurries!

Prior to leaving,

I managed to complete pretty much everything on my list

before my Texas Kenmore broke.

This last finish was the most important finish.

These blocks were constructed in 2004
by my SIL's mother, Veronica,
who passed away three years ago
after a short illness.

I found these blocks tucked away in one of her notebooks.
A Hancock Fabric's BOM,
I surmise it was never finished because of
deteriorating eye sight,
poor quality fabrics,
and complicated blocks.

I added 3" borders to each block because there were only 9,
not one of them being the same size,
and practiced a little FMQ

I joined the blocks with a QAYG method,
and the finished size is 54"square.

This quilt will be gifted to
Veronica's only granddaughter
on her 10th birthday in August.

On a sad note,
my grandkitty of 17 years,
Miss Molly,

will be laid to rest today.
I'm so glad I was able to spend one more winter
loving on her and tending to her aging needs.

She surely loved her mom!
Rest well,
sweet Molly.
