My week of Quilts

This week I had two quilting related meetings. On Thursday, I went to my ward quilt group, which I started two years ago. Or something like that. It never really happened the way I envisioned it and it kind of limped along the whole time, sometimes only having one or two people besides myself there. But, whatever, I tried, even when I felt really discouraged. So, somehow, at the end of this Thursday meeting, and without much discussion, it had become something completely different with a different leader and a different focus and not even about quilts anymore. I went home in kind of a daze, thinking, "What just happened?" and later, "This must be how Governor Patterson felt after the Republicans staged a coup in Albany over the summer."

What? Too dramatic?

Then Saturday, I went to my guild meeting, which is not connected to church people, but if it's possible, people that are even more annoying than church people go there and in much bigger numbers (but the fact that they are annoying has nothing to do with this story). They do this thing called "Block of the Month" where anyone that wants to can make a quilt block (in a pattern that they assign) and then, if you make one, you have the chance to win everyone's blocks. This was apparently a record setting month because there were over 100 blocks. When my friend won a few months ago, I think she got 7.

Anyway, I won the freakin' thing and now I have enough blocks to make a whole quilt. Just proving once again... you win some, you lose some.


here are the ones that I made:





and here are the ones that I won!





I think it's pretty awesome and I don't think my mom can say this is going to be a boring quilt!
