First Post in Forever

After forever away, I'm back!  Too many awful things have happened in the last few months to even begin to list and I've spent most of my "free" time just trying to remember to breathe.
In the midst of it all, I decided to finally start the crazy quilt I've wanted to make for 20 years.  It may take me another 20 years to finish it, but that's ok.  At least I've taken the first step. 

It doesn't have any embellishment yet, but that is something I can work on at night or at lunch time, etc.  I've been collecting fabrics for a really long time.  This includes several sari pieces, satins, velvet, and a drapery piece.  I'm not exactly sure what the blue flowered piece is.  But it's cool. 

Not bad for the first block.  I hope to eventually get some of the silk fabric that can go through the printer for photos of my family. 

I'll keep you "posted" on my progress.  Until then-remember to do something for yourself!
