The "Oh..Well"..Quilt

"Oh well"... is what Sharlene (mom) would say when

things weren't going right or when you just couldn't change what

the crisis was that befall you at that moment.

I have adapted this phrase in my vocabulary.

My sister Jeana and I set our minds on making a

quilt for "baby" Allison for

her 44 b-day on her recent visit.

We saw a fun looking quilt called; Snowball and decided

that was the one we would make her.

We began cutting, piecing, sewing, our share of the squares

that would be pieced together to make this fun looking quilt.

Here is what the backside of this quilt looked like.

It was an extremely labor intensive quilt, small pieces.

Each square measured 5 3/4 inches.

There were 39 squares of each 5 patterned fabric's, so if you are good

with numbers please do the math.

Here is the front view

(do you see the snowball illusion?)
