I'm typically not much of a piecer, when it comes to quilting. I prefer the quilting part and binding to piecing blocks. Fortunately I have friends that piece and so I'm well stocked with quilt tops.
This couch quilt was one I put together. Most of the blocks were from a quilter's estate, and I had to add a few to make it big enough. I recently noticed that one of the fabrics in a block had completely disintegrated. I repaired it.
Then I discovered another block which had the same fabric. I repaired that today, along with a third block that featured the fabric which was also in shreds. I appliqued a replacement strip over the shredded fabric. When my friend Rosie mentioned she had scored an old ruler at a yard sale...I shared that I had a ruler collection. One of the many things I collect! She sent it along with Meyer lemons from AZ which arrived today. I thought it interesting that someone had sewn some zig-zag stitches over the wooden ruler! Was it to advertise the strength of the Pfaff? When laying out the rulers in my collection, I noticed I have a meter stick...39 inches besides the yard sticks. I also have a couple up on the wall, folding rulers, that didn't make it to the
photo shoot. Speaking of photo shoots, I was able to capture the early moon rise the other night. So much easier to photograph when it's still light out.
