Shop Hop Quilt

This year's Road to Oklahoma Shop Hop is coming soon, very soon for me. The pictures of our individual shop's finished quilt are to be made May 1st. And I just received the fabric for my finishing setting. This was to be the low stress year, a simpler finishing design would mean less work for me. Right. I ordered the perfect fabric for the blocks last October, and it would soon be available. Then the January delivery date went to February, went to March, and finally, mid-April I have fabric. But only a little, the designer cut enough for me to do the one quilt from her advance fabric and shipped it to me as soon as she received hers. Barbara had finished all the shops blocks, (thank you so much, Barbara) so now finally, I am working on the quilt. And of course the classroom and shop have been busy this week, but baring no more unexpected delays, I can get the quilt to the quilter early next week. Good news is, the fabric is working, I know you will love it. I will post when the quilt is on-line for your first look, and you will see that it was worth the wait. Oh, the blocks are hearts and butterflies, and the fabric line I chose is Butterfly Dance by a new company, Fine Lines. Love this designer and this fabric, you will too.
