A long, long time ago this free-pieced letter J
was gifted to me by Judy in Michigan (no blog),
one of many online friends from the days
when Tonya R. was blogging.
It was in "that project box"
along with more large pieces from
sCRUMBtious and Flummadiddle.
Four narrow scrap strips of solids
helped me turn that letter J into
the center of this scrappy medallion flimsy.
The finished quilt measures 16.5" x 16.5"
The center block's pebbles were quilted
using Glide thread in Linen.
The echoed swirls border and the outer border
were quilted using variegated Affinity thread in Aquamarine.
Like the first four pieces,
this one was bound using leftover binding
and used up two partially-wound bobbins
from previous projects.
I've hung this happy little quilt on the wall in my studio.
It makes me smile.

And to all those who have left comments this week
but haven't heard back from me, there's a good reason.
Another back tooth developed a fractured root
so it was off to the oral surgeon to have it removed
since there is no "fix" available.
Since then I've been recovering in the recliner
and am happy to say that this one appears
to be healing with less trauma than the last one.
Rest assured, I have read your comments
and appreciate each one but I need to
invoke retroactive comment amnesty.
Thanks for understanding.
