Happy Tuesday! I'm starting this post with an oldie. I made this small quilt in 1994 for Mr. Fun's Office in Chicago. It measures about 36" square. I love to visit my earlier quilter self. How organized I was with the placement of the pink and turquoise. I admit I purposefully mixed up 1 of the nine patches. I loved the look in old Amish quilts so I included it in mine.

So it turns out the "technical difficulty" with my new camera was me. Go figure! Thanks to hubby for pointing out my error. He's better about the technical stuff than I am--it's that engineer brain of his. Anyway, I think I am back in business. Once again I sent one of my quilts on a journey to get quilted by Lynn.
