“I have given skill to all the skillful, so that they may make all that I have commanded you. “ Exodus 31:6

“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.
Walter Rauschenbusch

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.

I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.

If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.

Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

Heart Strings -- photos

HEART STRINGS
Stats: Finished measurements 61 1/2 inches wide by 80 inches long, unwashed
Fabrics: Strips of 1 1/4 - 2 1/2 inch wide fabrics from my extensive stash. Backing from a 5 yard length of a fabric bought on clearance at Walmart.....rose print, name unknown.
Batting: Pellon brand, 80% cotton, 20% polyester, with scrim; 96 inch wide, by the roll, 9 yard roll, from Walmart ($29.00)
Machine-pieced on 10 inch-square papers from Missouri Star Quilt Company.
Machine-quilted in the ditch of each seam, on my Singer Model 15 sewing machine.

Updating yesterday's pre-finish photos,
I took a few shots today.

I haven't washed the quilt yet. Normally, I CAN NOT WAIT to wash and dry the quilt, and see the crinkly shrunken goodness of a new quilt. But this time, I like it so much, I don't want anything to change.

And yet, this is a new batting for me, and I want, NEED, to see the final results, lookswise, as well as how it feels to the touch.

Time.

I need time.

Linking up with crazy mom's finish-it-up-Friday
