Dewey's Quilt

. Wednesday, February 17, 2016 .
Betsy has been working every spare minute she has on this quilt.  Those minutes have been few and far between these days.  Life seems to have taken a big right curve for her.  But last Friday night Ms Yvonne and I were able to help her get the quilt top started (Yvonne cut, Betsy sewed, and I pressed the seams) and then she got her second wind and she was off to the races.

Betsy chose photos of family and things that they have done as a family so when Dewey see the pictures he will remember the fun times they have shared through the years.  She added some of his favorite t-shirts and a few cowboy squares.  Dewey loves a good western.


The top is complete.

The back is finished.  Now all we need to do is lay it out, tape it down, pin it and then Betsy will quilt it and adds the binding.  We have plan to pin on Thursday night.  We usually do that at church because we need a large piece of floor space to lay it out.  It won't be long before he is cuddled up in it by the fire watching John Wayne win the West.

I hope you enjoyed my attempt at quilting. I've learned a lot over the years from comments and conversations I have had with friends on the Internet. I hope you will leave a comment that will inspire me to be a better quilter.
