Remember the Quiltmania magazine issue that had the nice article on you when you went to visit Lucy? Think it was that same issue that interviewed a French woman who was a judge (in a court of law, not a quilting judge...lol). She pieced all her (very scrappy) quilts by hand. Ever since then, I have been meaning to start one by hand and think I've been inspired by your lovely scrappy Sister's Choice to do this one. Let's see if I can do the whole thing by hand....and not cop out and finish with the machine....Sally Langston Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08947024909324503884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-35188100323123730402013-04-24T16:44:44.075-04:002013-04-24T16:44:44.075-04:00Lovely quilt, lovely skyline.

We always stayed in a hotel that could have been located where this photo was taken from. The views of the rivers, bridges, and river traffic were ever fascinating. Unfortunately we were flown in and out just for conferences and saw little more than the inside of the hotel. Always thought of Pittsburgh as a gritty industrial city, but as are most such impressions, was obviously incorrect. And the quilt is gorgeous!

I'm leaning towards the Pink since it is for a Grand-Daughter! I can hardly wait for the end of Summer when I get these 2 PINK variety Grandbabies.

I love the Ocean Spray fruit flavored snacks,(several other companies make them too) they are all delicious, compact and gluten free. Also the small packages of mixed nuts, cheese strings, GF granola bar,Popcorn or fruit are transportable. My last airplane trip I got veggies and dip and a fruit cup. Tortilla chips are good and Snackwells makes some delicious popcorn blends with caramel or chocolate that are GF and in single serving packages. Hope this helps.

I've only recently discovered you though I have been quilting off an on for years, but I am very glad to have found you. Hope you have a great trip into the area.

I would like to make something similar but am not sure that I can put my colors together the way you did.
