Bliss Quilt

During the past week I managed to sneak in a few quilting hours - sometimes finding the time is the hardest part. I finished the Bliss quilt I started a little while back. Originally I thought I would do some hand quilting on this one, but in the end I changed my mind.

For the back I alternated strips of Kona Tarragon and Aqua.

I am very pleased with the way it turned out - very soft and pliable.  One of the pro's of straight line quilting vs. stippling.

We enjoyed a nice Spring Break and Easter Weekend. We surprised our kids with a trampoline (we put it together after they went to bed) and it has been a huge hit.  I have so many childhood memories of time spent on a trampoline - sleep outs where we would all end up in a big pile in the middle by morning, jumping with the sprinklers underneath, and all the hours spent trying to master the back flip.

We are also in the middle of a busy soccer season.  It's a 4 day a week commitment (for me), and sometimes we are double booked with our two boys, but it is something we really love. My oldest son had an away game in Northern Utah this past week and we were able to visit some of our old stomping grounds in Cache Valley.  

More of the same this week, with lots of yard work thrown in just for fun (I am weird that way).  We are supposed to have temps in the mid 70's by the end of the week.

It's about time!
