Hello and Welcome,

As this is my 1st blog post, I was putting way too much thought into how I would start and what I would say. Finally, I had a lightbulb moment and was struck by the obvious----begin with the quilt I used for my blog header. I've know for some time that when I had a web presence I wanted the color orange, and this 1000 Pyramids quilt fit the bill.

I made this quilt for my granddaughter, who mentioned some years ago, that she loved orange. In January of 2012, I started shopping for light and dark fat quarters that contained orange. That was the prerequisite, they had to contain orange. I gave myself 1 year as it was a sweet sixteen birthday gift and she was born on Christmas. When it came to putting it together, I put all my pyramids in a basket and picked without looking. This was tough but I stuck to it. The quilting I decided upon is an edge to edge design called "Fantasia". I'm very happy with the results and more importantly, she is too. I hope you enjoy the pics and will stop back in to see what's next. K
