Quilt Reveal: Pajamas Doll Quilt
Your project must be wearable, or have been made from previously worn items, or have another connection to clothes, shoes and fashion accessories.
I gave myself two choices:
- Make a blouse that I have been planning to make for a very long time. I already have the pattern and the fabric chosen.
- Make a quilt out of all the pajamas I have been saving to make a quilt.

Quilt Reveal: Web of Life
It's time for the annual Dust Off An Old Quilt Book Blog Hop! I have been participating the last few years and have always enjoyed it.
I have been participating the last few years and have always enjoyed it.
For this hop, I dusted off my Red & White Quilts Infinite Variety book. The book features all the red and white quilts that had been in an exhibit at a museum. I had seen the quilt on the cover before the exhibit and the book and had already been fascinated by it.
This block may look familiar to you. I started it a long time ago, in 2010. I then added a backing to hide the raw edges. I added it to a gray background, but I didn't like the way it looked, so I abandoned it. I hadn't put it on my list of quilts because I was just playing and hadn't started the Optical Illusion quilt.
During the 15 Minutes to Quilt Challenge in December, I took off the gray background and made a quilt sandwich with a white background. I then had to leave the quilt alone and move on to my next UFO for the next day's video.
But since it was so close to completion, I didn't put it away, and worked on it in the spare bits of time I could find.
What word? Web of Intrigue? Web of Lies? Web of Deception? I looked it up, and the first word I found was Web of Life. Sounded good to me. It was late at night by that time and Life is a nice short word and therefore easy to applique, so I decided to choose that. I found a font I liked and traced out the letters.
