Ring Cycles Quilt

Finally finished the ring cycles quilt.  It was a super challenge for me.  But it's done and I'm glad.  My granddaughter has claimed this one.  So, I'm sure one day it will be hers.




 My next project will be a memory quilt for a friend from her son's shirts.  After that, I have a couple more projects I'd like to make.

Fall

 The days are passing so quickly.  Our lives are much different than they were a couple of months ago.  With my son and his family living with us now, the house is louder and messier, but I wouldn't have it any other way.  :)  I want to make this season special for them - a time for them to save up some money, have help with the kids, and support from family, something they've rarely had in the last six years of living in the UK.  I also want this time to be one full of happy memories - pool time, cooking, cleaning, sewing with Mamaw....breakfast with Papaw Jim.....playing outside on the ezyrollers, with Mamaw chasing behind, and lots and lots of pretending.

Working on the school workbooks I found for them at Costco. Big sister helping little brother.  :)
                                        More pretending.......fighting dragons!
                                motorcycle rides with daddy......and his "long horn" helmet!
Lots and lots of lawn tractor rides........
Even amidst the busyness I finished the piecing on the Ring Cycles quilt.  Whew!  Way over my abilities.  It is on the machine and I hope to have it quilted and bound within a week or so.
Those Y seams were so difficult for me and they are very wonky.  I am hoping when done, the eye will be drawn to the big circles and the pretty colors rather than my very less than perfect piecing.  My granddaughter has staked claim to it.  She likes it and that is really all that matters, right?
