Slow Motion Quilt


I don't really know how to make a quilt- not officially- but I get the general idea. 
I love quilts and the tradition of them.
When I was a little wee one, the church ladies of University Lutheran Church in East Lansing Michigan made me a quilt (or my mom bought it from them- I don't know).  It was soft dark blue underneath and deep hues of dark fuchsia, burgundy, beige, gray and white.  Perfect cozy quilty blanket.  And then somewhere somehow in my young adult adventures, it disappeared.

The sad story is over. 
About a year ago, my friend Eliese and I decided to start a quilt project creating squares based upon squares created by the other.  She lives in Portland, I live in Seattle- this is a long distance project that we are tackling in slow motion.  Someday we will finish it.  For now- it is fun!!!!

Here are the squares thus far:
