Susan, your Spools quilt is wonderful!
Last month at guild, Edyta Sitar was our speaker. She was AMAZING! So friendly, energetic, inspirational, humble and funny. Her lecture was called "Reasons for Quilts" and she showed about 80 quilts and told about each one!! Each quilt was prettier than the one before it. I saw her SOTTT quilt and her Spools quilt - both are wonderful!

Well, after that trunk show, I decided my reels had marinated long enough! I went out and bought my background batik, and sorted through my stash to find tops and bottoms for each reel. Tonite, I sewed my first two and I am having so much fun! Like Susan, I will be making the Spool quilt from Edyta's book (which I bought there and she autographed!).
Here's a pic of my first two spools. More to come...
