Faced with what seems to be a never-ending supply of quilts and even at various attempts to destash, there are always piles of quilts. In the fall I had the idea of getting a quilt or "blanket ladder." It was 5 feet tall and 17 inches wide. Not bad but getting big quilts on it was pretty tricky. So I asked Santa for a bigger blanket ladder. Below is Santa, and his present was was pretty easy to assemble. (search for blanket ladder at Amazon - all sorts of options come up.) This new ladder is 7 feet tall and 24" wide. Much better. The smaller ladder works great for wall hangings and napping quilt. During this new year's winter interlude (we aren't snowed in - I've just been pretending for a couple of days) I started the quilt at the bottom of this entry. Today I'm about to sew the vertical rows together. And then I think I'll pet some fabric and see which ones I want to play with next!
