Since Katherine no longer needs to use my sewing room I decided to get started on my first quilt for 2021. I wanted to begin with something easy, so I choose the purple top I pieced on election night last year. I backed it with a plain cream-colored soft muslin and batted it with three leftover scraps from other projects. Since it's slightly larger than my sewing table I pinned it all together on the floor in the front hall:
I'm keeping it simple by using just a dark purple hand quilting thread:
I didn't get much quilting done last night -- my fingers are really stiff after not hand-sewing anything for two and a half months -- but I'm not in a hurry. This one is just for fun.

Such a beautiful combination, but you made my knees hurt when you said you'd pieced it on the floor. No more kneeling for me.
