It is a very strange sensation to be so proud of my child for the awesome job he is doing on his quilt, and at the same time, being soooo jealous of him because his points are SO much nicer than mine !

This is not the first time his perfect points have made me jealous either . The quilt he made last fall is 98% perfect points too ! Last falls quilt was HST, and this is his FIRST time EVER making geese. He is some sort of quilting prodigy or something !

Here are some of his completed strip sets , awaiting the rest of their colors so he can begin putting it all together.

Here he is busy at the machine, now that I have got up from it myself, he was waiting patiently all day for machine time !
I have a feeling he is going to do very well in the fair this year ! This will be his first time entering a quilt at the fair and he is being VERY precise and wanting to make sure he has it done in time. I told him he has lots of time, it does not need to be finished till August !

I have never thought about the fact that yes we do pay for both sides of the fabric, so why not use both sides. I'll have to give this some thought when I start my next quilt which may be today. Great idea- than your nephew.
