This is the partially-done quilt some of my grandchildren's late grandmother had started putting together. It was reversible, with the other side looking similar to this one. She had started tying it with yarn.
I hoped to finish it for one of the grandchildren, but thought it too small. Those kids just keep on a-growin'! Considering the matter, I decided to take the front from the back, enlarge them, and make two quilts from one.
That's when I discovered that the big, blunt needle and the thick yarn had left holes in the fabric -- and the tie spots were marked with permanent marker. Fortunately, she had not gotten very far. I then took both sides completely apart. I will remake the quilts, doing my best to avoid the holes and permanent markings where I can, and camouflaging them and putting a dab of Fray Block on where I can't.
I won't be using the fabric with the trees covered with snow, and possibly not the medium/light green. Now to design some sort of pattern, rummage up some new background fabric, and start putting the first quilt together!
