A Little Quilt Therapy’ll Do Ya

Quilt Therapy Posted on by

My kids are on spring break.  While this is a time for many students and families to run off a play for a week, my kids get to stay home and enjoy some down-time interspersed with doctor’s appointments.  It’s the only time we can fit them into their busy schedules unless we want to pull them out of school – and none of them want to be pulled out of school!

Spring break for this mom means no time to quilt.  I want to spend time with my kids.  It’s supposed to rain (GAH!  the mud!) most of the week so they’ll be stuck inside, when they’re not at their doctor’s appointments.

I decided I would carve out 30 minutes each day to sew.  Sunday evening was my first night of this spring break experiment.

I am making a 10″ block (finished size) lap quilt.  Super simple. I already had the fabric (from AbbiMays.com, of course) and the squares cut out so I sat down at my sewing machine and put together nine squares.  Just nine.  This little bit of piecing constitutes one-fourth of my quilt top (sans the borders).

How fun!  If I use those 30 minutes a day wisely, I can complete the quilt top on day five by adding the first border and adding the second border on day six.

HalleQUILTlujah!

I designed and made this quilt while we were on our three-month camping adventure in the summer of 2006.  I sent my husband, mother-in-law and kids over to Lake Tahoe so that I could get this quilt made without interruptions or distractions (both of which are guaranteed when you have a husband, MIL and four kids living in such close quarters).

Here’s one of the blocks from this precious quilt:

This quilt was a blast to make, especially with the fabric I chose for the quilt.  The fabric was sponsored by AbbiMays.com and I just had pure FUN making this baby quilt!

I also cut out all of the fabric for the blocks, along with the monthly patterns and presented them to everyone who wanted one in the small quilt group I attended.  At the end of the first year…and even the second and third year, I saw so many different variations made of the ladies who put that quilt together.  Some added wider sashing and borders to create a lap quilt.  Some didn’t add sashing at all (like in my quilt image below) but made up for the loss by adding bigger border pieces.  We had a small quilt fest at the community library and showed off our quilts and it was amazing how many different quilts were made from the exact same set of blocks that I used.  I was tickled pink!
