“Let me live, love, and say it well in good sentences."

This was probably the biggest project I’ve tackled to date (aside from hand quilting a king-sized quilt for my parents…still working on that). It’s also been one of most gratifying projects. Finishing it was almost bittersweet. Almost. It was mostly exciting—but it was so pretty, it was hard to say goodbye!
It’s nice to have small projects to break up the monotony that can occur with big projects. I’ve been working on a couple different quilts over the last couple weeks—which are a lot of fun but a lot of work. My aunt emailed me at the perfect time—she needed a security blanket and coordinating burp cloths.
This summer my brother and I went to Michigan to visit some extended family and go to a friend’s wedding. We had a great time. Towards the end of our stay, my aunt asked if I would make a quilt for her to go in the room I stayed in while I was there. She gave me a vintage handkerchief to use as inspiration. We looked at Pinterest for some ideas of what she liked.
The first design I drew up involved small triangles—but it was going to take me forever to make, so I decided to go with big and bold chevrons. I wanted to use several different patterns for the yellow, grey, and pink with a solid white chevron.
