| closer look at the Baptist Fan quilting |
Over the past week or two or three I have been doing just that...I have been working on it nearly every day. Sometimes I only get a couple arcs of one fan done but other times I may get a few full fans completed. Those are definitely the best days!
I am happy to report that now that I am more than half way done that I have put in at least a bazillion stitches and now I have less than half a bazillion to go!
This series of seven Seven Sisters quilts that I am making for me and my six sisters really is a labour of love. I don't really expect to speed through them and have them all done likkety-split but I do seem to be spending way too much time thinking about them than working on them!!!

This is a beautiful project and I know you must enjoy working on it.
So what number is this one. I can't believe you are doing the same pattern 7 times. Well done
I love your work. Beautiful pattern and I love the colors too.
I was wondering how this one was coming along! Love the blue one. Have you planned the next color to start hand piecing?
Yes making the habit of quilting everyday really does help, even it is a few stitches. The quilt is serving it's purpose if it making you think about your sisters. Just think when they receive them they will think of you every time they see or use your great quilt.
Hi Ellen
This one is looking so beautiful! You know when I get mine I will be rubbing like Aladdin's Lamp. I wake up and always fondle my Magic Spinners quilt you gave me. Truly appreciate your work and artistry. Love sis
Yeah! Less than 1/2 a bazillion stitches to go. Your work is looking lovely.
I had wondered when one of your Seven Sisters would appear again. I am just fascinated that you are making so many.This one is my favorite so far...until the next one.
Yippee... the sisters are out! So happy to see this quilt is getting a few more gazillion stitches! Enjoy!
Beautiful quilting. I hope you show us all of the quilts in one post in the future.
Lovely quilt and quilting :) I too go in spurts on projects and Labor of Love indeed! You have a VERY lucky family! :)
I love your Seven Sisters quilt. The colour and fabric you've picked are just perfect to me. Care to adopt another sister? LOL. Wonderful work Ellen. Enjoy!
I was wondering how your seven sisters quilt was coming along. Beautifully, I see : )
I saw an antique seven sisters quilt at a museum once! Yours is lovely! Keep stitching!
