Teenage Moment

I did get the backing pieced for my Peace, Love and Happiness quilt and while laying it out on the floor I experienced this sense of deja vu.  My daughter asked who I was making this quilt for, and when I replied "for myself",  we had the same conversation as when I was working on the first Retreat quilt for myself.....guess she doesn't think it's appropriate for one to make quilts for themselves.

 I wanted to share that conversation with you but I made the mistake of asking my daughter to clarify a certain point and she told me in no uncertain terms that it was uncool to blog about that prefers that I not divulge the specifics.  Let's just say that my sweet daughter is having more "teenage moments" now that she has turned 13, and I make sure to point them out to her.  She likes to point out my "mom moments", and I tell her that is fine as long as she doesn't refer to them as "senior moments" ;-))))

Because basting is not my favorite quilting activity, I started a new project.....and I wonder why I never get any quilts finished ;-))  Actually, this quilt has been on my to-do list for a while now, so that's OK, right?

I still have several baby quilts to make and since I was on a roll with my PLH quilt I thought it would be fun to see how the peace pattern works using 2.5" squares instead of larger pinwheels.  

I am using a jelly roll of Malka's A Stitch in Color for the blocks and a green shot cotton for the background.  I haven't progressed much, but so far I am loving the smaller size!
