Project Quilting 14.6:

 The last challenge of this season's Project Quilting is "Conquer a Fear" - projects must involve conquering something that scares you.

Well. I really don't have a lot of what I would consider fear- anxiety, uncertainty, trauma, caution, sure. But I have trouble thinking of something that I personally fear for myself.

For my kids, though- oof. SO MUCH fear, SO MANY fears. And really, all I can do is trust that I've prepared them as well as I can to navigate the world, and advocate/work for a BETTER world so that I have less to fear, especially for the LGBTQ kids.

The quilt is my heart, which feels as if it's out of my chest and frayed around the edges when thinking of my kids' future.

Project Quilting 14.5 - Sew Not a Square

 Our rule for challenge 5 in Project quilting was to avoid squares at all cost.

I used scrap binding and some gold accent fabric and made a cushion cover for a footstool.

It has velcro to attach to the footstool, so I left a gap in the back.

All in all, a worthwhile project.
