Lions, tigers, and bears . . . Oh my!

But in reality, there are
 bees, fish, pennies, bugs,
 stars, footballs, plaids,
and of course jelly beans.
In the very big one-patch quilt.  At least 30 years of fabric collecting is represented here.

Each square was carefully selected and placed.  The quilting table had to be raised even more to fit the backing.

My flu symptoms are back today so the quiet task of pinning filled the bill.  No vigorous yard work was permitted, which is a shame as the weather was perfect.

If you have to go out shopping, wear gloves and possibly a mask.  This flu season is the worst I've seen in awhile.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Sorry to hear the flu has returned...you are wise to take it easy! The one-patch quilt is cheerful!

What a delightful selection of fabrics! Did you just recently piece this simple beauty? It is a great example of how it doesn’t have to be a complicated pattern to make a wonderful quilt. So sorry you are sick again.
