Checkerboard quilt

Having deliberately decided not to quilt on Monday and Tuesday last week, I got up to date with cleaning and even cooked suppers ahead.  The only quilt expected arrived after hours on Wednesday thus I had the whole day all to myself with no urgent matters to attend to, I decided to make the most of this day off, prepared myself a plate of Jalapeno poppers, poured some wine and read a rather disturbing book suggested by my daughter.

Got the quilt but being hubby and my time didn’t load or started it.  Thursday DIL taught her last class at school for the term and invited me to celebrate it with her with cocktails and yes, more Jalapeno poppers.

Friday evening SIL phoned to say he had a lambs’ rib and wants to come over if I can prepare something to go with it, which I obviously did.  How can one refuse rib?

I decided to add a hint of blue to the guest bathroom, no painting but just in the décor with towels, bath fizzers, gel, lotions and whatnot but I simply could find a blue plate that suited my needs.  All I could find were plates with definite patterns on them and I get bored with them.  I wanted something abstract.  My dearest daughter said, if I give her a glass plate, she will decorate it for me.  The plate I gave looked like this.

Once done, just what I imagined.

We had the grandkids over the whole weekend, not all of them together but in sessions but somewhere in between I got the edge-to-edge quilting done on this quilt.
