Layered and Quilting

First few stitches taken on the bowtie quilt. There are some actions or events or even smells that cause the memories to flicker in my brain and the first few stitches on a quilt do that for me. Another odd one is the musty locker chlorine smell of swimming pool dressing areas but that's from too many years and too much time spent in a pool. This quilt is double bed size--antique beds are usually smaller than modern ones--and won't have that much quilting on it. Maybe I will finish it before I go to France in October.
