Well, I finally got up the courage to start sewing. With Ashley and Gracie's help, we sewed for a few hours last night, and again this morning; and we have the whole quilt top finished! We have 120 7" squares, sewn into 12 rows of 10 squares each. We just need to put a border around it yet, to finish the top! I wish I had a place big enough to lay it out and take a picture of it. I know some of you would recognize your material!
Anyway, when it's all done, I'll be sure to hang it up somewhere and snap a picture to share. It's exciting to finally be working on it. And, it's been such a blessing to me as I've been ironing and sewing the squares, remembering who sent them. Ashley read through the wishes this morning, and I had tears in my eyes as she read. Everyone who was so supportive of us and Ian's adoption~ sending up prayers for him and love for us. Wow, we have been so blessed!
Edited to add: We decided to spread it out on the living room floor and take a picture. So, here's what it looks like at this point. Can you pick out YOUR fabric?
