Hope to have something to show after the weekend. I have an English Paper Piecing project that I work on in the evenings when I can stay awake! I’m also working on a memory quilt, this one is custom and it stumps me. The T shirts are black and have rhinestones in various colors and then there is the fabric (multi-colored floral) that the family chose. I also have to incorporate a piece of the son’s clothing. He passed about three months after his mother. This is the last of a series of quilts for my friend’s children (and each one has something of their brother’s in the quilt). This will take forever to quilt since you can’t run over the rhinestones with a long arm and I’m a relatively new long armer. I have one more quilt to make after this one but I think I can take an existing pattern and plug the clothing into it.

“This will take forever to quilt since you can’t run over the rhinestones with a long arm”

I was going to suggest hand quilting, but with rhinestones that also would be a problem.
