I'm having a streak

 of "no luck at all".  I started the quilt and all was going well.  The blocks made from Microchips from Northcott were all put together quickly.

I had the pattern in front of me and all the blocks had numbers so I couldn't goof anything.

I sewed it all together and then took days to select a pantograph.  I picked up my phone and that's when I saw this glaring mistake!

I spent some time one afternoon fixing that and then had to make one final decision

Which pantograph?????  This one really gave me angst.  I knew what I wanted.  I wanted circles.  I didn't want daisies although I tried that.  I didn't want loops, and I had tried other circles, but they just weren't right.  I grabbed my book and I found it.  I would never have thought of this in a dozen weeks of summer.  The pantograph is called "Snowballs" and it is from Anne Bright Designs.  It's a border-to-border one and I did it at 9 inches.

I was in no rush to bind it.  It took me 3 nights because I also had this really good book to read.

I have always wanted a real reversible quilt.  Two designs, one quilt.  

The front

and the back.

I used the cutting instructions from a pattern called Punch Lines which I fully intend to make one day.

Don't tell the farmer I walked into his garden to get these photos.  

For the next 215 days, the photo at the top of the page will remain.  

It is there for all of us to remember the children taken from us in Kamloops, British Columbia at a Residential School.  

Children as young as 3 were murdered and buried in an unknown "cemetery". 

 Many questions remain and many will never be solved.
