You are doing a great job, and I suspicioned you had some sewing background ...
Very nice job!

I just came here from your other thread showing your first quilt - this is wonderful work! I love the mariner's compass and the little aeroplanes are so cute!

Your finished block is so great. I love the cloud fabric you've incorporated into the quilt. It's going to be such a neat quilt!

I LOVE it!!.. and having done a couple of Mariner's Compasses, I know that is truly a challenge.. I'm a former Navy Nurse and I can tell you that he will be bragging on that a LOT.. I also have some Navy fabric and some patriotic pin up fabric chunks I'd be happy to send to you if you'd like it. PM me if you want it.

The Rocket Ship quilt is my first quilt, this will be my second.

And boy, it is taking me a long time to piece the top. Trying to go from green/brown fading upward to blue/sky is a lot harder than I thought it would be.

More pics soon. Right now I'm making propellers. Lots of propellers. :shock:
