Quilt update

I am making the Trip Around the World pattern on this quilt. The squares form a pattern of the world. When I was looking at the pictures I posted last time I didn't see how it was going to come out looking like the world.. The I remembered what I did with Jeff'e mom when we put the one together for him some years ago. We started in the middle and did it one quarter at a time. I cut the blocks bigger and laid it out. Then I could see it coming together just fine. Here is a picture of what I have done in the last couple of days.

Working on a quilt

This picture is what I have done so far today.

This is what I started out with. I had to put a sheet under my work to see it from the quilt under it. I have also figured out that I have to work this pattern from the middle out and a quarter at a time. Larger squares would make the quilt make up more quickly. Hmmm!

New Digs

The new guest room is officially open at Hart's Dew Drop Inn. Curtis has reserved the room for this weekend while Christine is at the NCAA tournament in Salt Lake. Just call when you are in the area, we'd love to have you for a visit.

A better picture

This one is pretty good too. Gotta run. We are going to get the bed for the new guest room.

This is a much better picture. I guess I was more tired last night than I thought looking at those pictures.

Thought I would post all the family pictures I got this last holiday season. Let's see how many I can get in here. I am still figuring this out so I hope it comes out the way I want it. I thought I had a picture of Breanna but couldn't find one.
