Back in the saddle again!

This song is what I listened to when I came back to my sewing room and finally sat down at my sewing machine!  Back in the saddle by Aerosmith....
It felt good to be sewing quilt blocks again, but this time I have a helper, my oldest daughter!  She has made two quilts of her own with some help from me but she wanted one made by mom.  Last year she designed this quilt we called Denmark for her friend as a going away gift.  She wanted her design in fabrics I bought for her years ago and I persuaded her to go with gray for the background and she wanted us to do a tutorial too!  So we have been busy over the last week and will hopefully get things done in the coming week so you can make one of your own!
We had some mix ups and frustrations because she is a lefty and I'm a righty so I had to change everything to make sense for her.  We learned on the Denmark quilt what happened if she has to work as a right hander.
Luckily we have almost made it to the end!
