Talk about leaving things until the last minute!  I completed my offering for Kirsty’s redwork quilt project at a BBQ lunch with friends yesterday, then popped it under her front door on my way home.  Since it was due in today (that makes it sound like a school assignment, doesn’t it) I really did get that last stitch done just in time.

The central motif and the four little ones were completed weeks ago, but I had trouble deciding how to attach them and whether to add anything else to my square.  In the end I kept things simple, and some lazy daisies and french knots later all was finished.

I am thrilled to have been part of The Quilt Project.  Kirsty really is all about community – her local community, her school community, community of friends and family, and her crafty community both “in real life” and online.  This has been a wonderful collaborative project and I’m really looking forward to seeing the rest of the squares.  Mine is very simple and basic compared to much of the beautiful work that is already in the flickr pool but I figure that it might set some of them off even more.

And if you’ve been playing Kirsty’s little clickaround journey over the past week, you already know that the answer is COMMUNITY!
