    Out of this World Quilt

here is a pattern to this story. First rain then a puddle, then rain then a puddle. Then there is sun, grass, sun and grass. Then a sunset, flowers, sunset, and flowers. Then it reverses and we see: flowers, then a sunset, flowers, and a sunset. Then grass, sun, grass, sun. Then puddle, rain, puddle, rain.

The blocks were sewn together by hand and there is a border of "dirt" in the corners and "rivers" in between.

I started my quilt in May of 1996. My mom and I sketched out how big the squares would be and where they would go. We made a pattern of 6: the first row was 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The next row was 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Then we repeated it again. It took a long time to sew the blocks together. I would sew only a couple at a time. I finished the top on Mon. Sept. 2nd. When it comes out of the showcase [at Gilbert Linkous Elementary], I'll put the batting and backing on. When it's finished, it will be a baby doll quilt. It will be for Sarah, my very favorite doll.
