Fingers crossed I can work on this top this evening. Sewing Chunks is fairly fast, especially b/c you only sew 2 of each. Kelly laid the 9-patches out and all I have to do is pick them up and sew!

| this is both A-1 |
 |
| this is two each of A-2 thru A-5 The chunks are separated by lg rulers as dividers. |

| I like to start in the middle with the "C" row and then add the "B" to both sides. |
This quilt is made with 2 1/2" strips and should be 90 x 90 in the center. Kelly is wanting to do 8 1/2" borders w/applique flowers (She will cut the shapes I will raw edge applique) The 6 1/2" outer border will be piano keys made from the extra 2 1/2" strips. We are shooting for a large king quilt for their bed. (118 x 118) many of these fabrics are left overs from their wedding quilt 6 yrs ago. (Anniv was in March but I didn't say which year I would gift the quilt- lol)
Kelly will quilt it when she gets around to it. (Best DIL ever quilting her own gift) I called dibs on getting to enter it in at least one show sometime in my lifetime. I am not normally a pastel (springy) person so having Kelly around expands my pallet. I tell her I would never do this much work for anyone else but her!
