This is my Kansas Quilt, that I am going to call - Under my Kansas Sky.  I cut off the corners of the quilt top but I think that you can get an idea of what it looks like.  I decided to make this quilt when I began attending the Burlingame Quilt Guild in July.  Delores Reick had been searching for Kansas related blocks on the internet and had handed out 2 patterns each month starting in January of this year.  I quickly caught up on making the blocks, found the medallion center in a book by Squibb & Jacobs (the pattern is called Stars over the Prairie).  I also used 4 block patterns from a block of the month designed by Mary Lees. I used mostly Kansas Trouble fabric in the quilt. but if you look closely you will see fabrics from Thimbleberry, Jo Morton & Kim Diehl.  The size of the quilt keep growing, the top is 106".  This size will fit nicely on my bed with plenty of over hang.
Now that the top is finished maybe I'll be able to spend some time cooking or cleaning house but I don't think so.
I have another quilt top made that is made up of rejected blocks from this Kansas quilt.
Originally this was going to be my back for the Under the Kansas Sky quilt.  I will need to make a few changes on this quilt to finish it.
I need to get back to sewing.  Have a Blessed Day.
