For Christmas, I got a BUNCH of quilting/sewing supplies from the In-Laws, and It was awesome! So the first thing I ask TheHubby is: Do you want a quilt? The response?: Umm...YES! Please! A Red-White-and-Blue one. You know, An America Quilt!
So I have been diligently working and slaving away on this quilt for the past 3 months. AND! It is finally coming together!

I had this piece complete for about 2 weeks before I finally had time to work on it again
This past week I had 3 days off, so I knocked most of it out

All that is left?
The border
The Batting
The Backing
And the Quilting.
So Quite a bit. Haha
I did start on the border, and Ava decided that she wanted to "help"

She would "Hold" the fabric, and when I nudged her, she would stand up, so I could reposition it, and then lay back down.
She's such a goober. Updates to come soon!
Updated: 3/31
I got the backing, and the batting complete!
Oh Sweet Victory!
I am currently working on the quilting. I have 6 of the 35 squares completed.
That is what happens when you make a quilt for the Barrick Men. Especially when TheHubby is 6ft6in.
Pics to come in the not TOO distant future.
AKA: Tomorrow or Monday
UPDATE:
Clearly by tomorrow or Monday I meant, 11 months later. DUH!
So I finished the quilt around May...and here we are....the following February...
I also didn't take a pic of the finished product...lovely But it was pretty epic. 7 feet by 5.5 feet.
