Long long ago wanted to make a quilt for Keshav. The pattern that i wanted to do was Jacobs Ladder, but half way through realised didnt have enough of the Nigerian cotton fabric...so bought fabric chosen by J at Joanns and made it....will try and insert that later here... To make a long story short... i had nine patch blocks and made use of it in this quilt top called " Stepping Stones " by Marcia Hohn. Right now its being quilted by me in squiggles and will maybe give it to Vamika. Finally its quilted and binding also done. The quilting is not great since the top thread kept snapping...but all told am happy !

Old Madras floortile Long long back J Chandra and me were walking back from Agathiyar Ashramam and stopped by a small boutique...i was struck by the beauty of the red floor tiles, making a beatiful star pattern, it brought back memories of my maternal grandmother who had a similar red floor with a 'Padi kolam ' in the center! Took a picture of it , Reethi wrote the pattern for it on a napkin , started it and abandoned it as the pieces were too small...now picked it up as i want to finish all the UFP and finished it recently...wish my J were there with me but am sure he is watching from somewhere. My plan is to quilt it with squiggles and give it to R and B for their guest bedroom. Thanks Keshav as always for showing me how to upload this photo from the IPad...

Star In 2020 Reethi came up with these Star Quilts suggestion as a Quilt Along...Reethi made one Star QT but I started making 4 Star Quilts to be given to Bhumikka,Chandra Subbu,Lakshmi and Sahana. Some of the Stars were huge challenges as I have never made paper templates before....to cut a long story short it kept me occupied and taught me a few things...before going to see Niko had quilted all of them, but binding was done in September, another skill that i have developed following Jenny Doan of MSQC!!! Making these quilts has kept me sane ....deeply thankfull. Will look for all the names of the Stars on Marcia Hohn website and write them down soon...
