Neonatal Checkerboard

The "leaders/enders" 4-patches I made when on retreat and later, finally added up to 100.  That seemed to be enough to make a neonatal top.

It is now together with a narrow inner boarder and a wider outer border.  I hope to get it layered, quilted and bound before our Bee meeting tomorrow night.



Meanwhile I am struggling along on the Leaves quilt top.  I had decided to change out the background fabric in a few of the blocks as I was making them, and then I found that it meant the leaf shape wasn't all there.  I am now required to replace some already sewn triangles, which not an energizing activity.  I keep telling myself that it doesn't take as long to do ONE as I was imagining.  Which is true.  Trouble is there are several more than ONE.

Ah, yes, those pesky triangles that make up the adjoining leaf. That is why my attempt became a bag and not a quilt. The little blocks are adorable.

Love it, Sara! The variety in the postage stamp/checkerboard/whatever we call it is so darling and such a time and age leaper! No matter what, everyone loves them and loves to receive them...and I sure do love yours!! And I love, love, love your d9p with the every increasing wonky cuts! Great to see the process even by looking at your quilt..what fun!
