determination

little by little this swoon top came together...it was a tough road

I started in January and here it is the end of February.  Life happened.  Play dates. B-day parties. Gymnastics. Day trips. MOPS. Bible study. Every day things that fill up the hours.  You know those things we mommies go through.  Bills to pay.  Home improvements.   It keeps me occupied while hubby is far away at work though.  The good and bad are here,but it is what you make it and God will ensure I will BE OK.  That is how I make it through it.

  God by my side and Ayden there to make me smile. 

 And quilting!!!!!!!!!!  OH yes quilting!

Onto the quilting..........

another block...another piece to the puzzle in this quilt for that someone special to me

 red, white and blue, red being her favorite color

my lifesavers......the glue to hold those delicate seams in place, their fine points are wonderful, they need to be plentiful at all times in piecing

in the raw.....proudly showing off all its pressed quarter inch seams and pretty points as I pin the the rows of 3 to the next row of 3

I like this part because I know I am creating a top that will become one whole piece really,really soon:)

adding the framework....the white borders that will place all nine of the SWOON blocks at center stage

I added another 4 inch border with the blues that were incorporated in the top.  I am using a navy blue backing  and then she will be prepped for quilting!!

More to come;)
