Go, go, go (but what FUN, FUN, FUN it has been) the past few months. More on that in the next few posts. Today I wanted to share with you what I was working on last week. For the past 2 1/2 years I have been serving in the Young Women at church and on Nov. 14 I was released. Thepresident (Jana Lindberg) and her family are moving on Dec. 1. At the last Wednesday night activity (Nov. 10) that my age group of girls (Mia Maids – 14 & 15 year olds) were in charge we decided to have all the girls decorate blocks and then I would make them into a quilt. We had not yet figured out how we were going to keep Sis. Lindberg from see us make the blocks at the activity, but I was so busy getting ready for our family vacation to Disney World that I really did not give it much thought. But, when Jana called on Wednesday afternoon and said that her brother had just arrived from Washington DC and would it be okay if she just stayed at home and visited with him – I tried to act cool about it, but I was quite relieve that she was not going to be at the church.
I left for Disney World on Saturday, Nov. 13 and returned home the next Saturday. Needles to say, if I was going to get the project comleted by Nov. 28, I had to get busy really quick on this project because Nov. 28 was the Lindberg’s last Sunday in our ward. I was totally exhaused from our trip and just did not have the engery to push those first few days. But, the Queen of the Projects completes this quilt at Noon on Sunday morning (church starts at 1:00 – plenty of time).
I did not have to purchase anything to make this quilt. (Tells you what a well stocked store I have in my baement.) In fact, the fabrics that I used around the blocks have been used on two other projects.
Here are lose-ups of a few of the blocks:
I had a couple of extra blocks so I included this picture from girls camp on one.
Jana and the young women were please with the quilt.

A great idea! It’s one she’ll treasure forever, I’m sure. I love the colorful, happy feeling you and the girls gave to the quilt. I had a feeling when I read your first post and saw the 17 picture that you were LDS.
What a cute quilt – it will be a treasure for her!
What a fun project. i am impressed as always.
it turned out really nice mom. I love the sashing, that is a really great idea!
Super fun! I love it!
