I started this quilt the year after the eclipse while visiting my grandmother in Idaho. I got the piecing done mostly on a singer 401A that I bought used in Idaho and then gave to a friend as a birthday gift in Dec 2019.

During COVID it sat in five large pieces folded into a packing cube and never made it’s way over to my sewing space because *I* never made it over to my sewing space.

Now that the kids are back to in person school I’ve been able to get the piecing finished, got the sandwich fused about a week ago.

Today I finished machine quilting it and getting a binding on! After a quick wash and dry it will be ready to go on our trip!

All the colors make me happy.
