2-1/2" Saga - Rona's 4 & 5

Dan here ~

The continuing saga of the 2-1/2" squares/the 'Rona Series ~ if you missed any previous posts....Part one is here, Part two is here, Part three, the 'Rona Series is here.

With Rona 4 I’m afraid I did not get too resourceful. I had been avoiding the really light 2-1/2” squares because they seemed to jump out of the quilt and that was troubling to my eyes.

Well, on Rona 4, I decided that I would use up some of them as I followed the pattern I had used in Rona 3.  

The Quilting Loft

We had lousy weather over the weekend so did some cleaning in our quilting loft and thought I would give you a more thorough tour of it while it was fairly clean! You got a sneak peak in our first blog post when I showed the remodel here at the pond. Click here if you missed it.

My parents used the loft as a den. The back half of the house was floored over with the front half open to the living area downstairs. It looked like this.

2-1/2" Saga ~ The 'Rona Series

This is the third part of the Saga of the 2-1/2" squares and the 'Rona series.  Part 1 is here, Part 2 is here.

The design process for 'Rona 2 or the fourth quilt in the 2-1/2” Saga began with still lots of nine-patch units in the pile. You guessed it, 'Rona 2 naturally centered around the nine-patch.

After ORDER IN CHAOS was created life became a barrier in my constant quilting. The packing and moving of two houses in Rangeley and the construction process that was described here kept me out of the sewing room. Why you ask? There was no sewing room as it was a construction mess.

TBT ~ A Walk On The Ridge

Carol here ~

I thought I would do a few Throw Back Thursdays and showcase some of our favorite quilts throughout the years. (and tell the stories behind them) The first one is titled A WALK ON THE RIDGE. 

Dan and I walk every day. One of our routes is “around the pond”. We start out on our road, Memory Lane, and head up the hill to Old County Road which runs parallel on the west side of Mud (Mirror) and Green Ponds.

I think that to begin talking about what I am working on of late, I need to back up to provide a bit of history to get behind the story. 

Too Many Quilts

Carol here ~

We have too many quilts! Since our move we really don’t have a place to store them all so we are going to offer some of them to you.  

You will see in the tabs above that I have added ~
