Tesselations

In the process of my crazy life after divorce, I gave birth to my lovely daughter in 1998.  She was a surprise.  I always said that my pregnancy was God's finest joke!  For years I didn't think I would have any children, but knowing my family's record for unplanned pregnancies even with precautions, I was vigilant with taking precautions.  And then she arrived....and I know that God was laughing at me.

This quilt kept me from losing my mind as I prepared to be a single mom.  Unsure if I was capable of raising her on my own, I didn't even tell my parents about the pregnancy until I was well over three months along.

I learned many things about 45 degree angles and keeping track of which  blocks went where.  I could have chosen a much simpler pattern, but keeping with my ignorance regarding patterns, I liked what it looked liked and jumped right in!

I believe I finished it right before I went into the hospital to give birth.
