Something new

I'm making a checkerboard-type quilt for Calysta. It will be composed of alternating squares of these two blocks. The backing will be checkered black and white--the same fabric as the borders of each block. I took her to the store and let her pick out her colors. Her two new favorite colors are black and white--then red and blue. I just completed a T-shirt quilt top and as soon as it is quilted, I'll show that, too. It has the fronts (and some backs) of T-shirts that we have obtained over the time we've known each other (Bobby and I). later...
