They quickly sewed into a mini quilt top and over the weekend I was able to get it quilted and bound. I couldn't help myself and hung the new mini quilt next to the original Combinatorics mini quilt that I...

The overlapping circles at the bottom represent the connection between generations and the free-floating orange peel at the top is the separation felt in losing Babsie, the last of her generation in our families. During a week spent with family, I began hand quilting the piece in the evenings as we remembered Grandma:...
