Olympic Fever

These Olympic games are killing me! I enjoy every part of the winter Olympics except for the lack of sleep! I’m just not used to staying up so late.

My quilting has taken a back seat this past week, so I will show you a little quilt I made for my niece. I took the photo while at her house a while ago. I love it when the younger generation appreciates the finer things in life – like quilts of course! 

 I cannot remember where I got the center panel, but I surely would love to find another one. I love this quilt (and my niece!).


Hope you are enjoying these wonderful young people fulfill their dreams. I think every one of them deserves great admiration, whether they make it to the podium or not. Their grit and determination is amazing!

  3. I have lost sleep to watch the Olympics too, so I feel your pain. Now I won't let myself watch or only watch with the alarm set. That's a pretty quilt.

  11. That is such a beautiful little quilt. Don't tell my nieces you do this, or I will be in the doghouse. :)
    I also love every event, and watch every minute that I can! So exciting to watch the women medal in cross country skiing and hockey last night, even though I usually am not into those sports.

  12. It's so good to see something we've made being used and enjoyed by others isn't it? I'm glad you said the centre was a panel, I was thinking what a great applique job you'd done!

  14. What a beautiful quilt especially the center panel surrounded by all those large prints. Your niece is a very lucky person! I can't stay up to watch some of the Olympic events but catch up the following day. Skiing, skating, and hockey are favorites.

  15. Oh my. Raccoon eyes, complete with dark circles, here, too. Just love watching them all pour their hearts into it! And nice seeing the snowy scenery, too.
    Love your little quilt! Do you know the center panel name?
