Cherries and a new quilt project!

Wow, I have been away for two weeks?!  That was not intentional!  I managed to get sicker after my last post, more house guests, and then our cherry trees nearly exploded with cherries.  I spent a solid week picking, stemming, pitting, freezing, cooking, and canning them.  We also gave away a bunch, and there are still more out on the tree.  I canned a total of 100(!!) jars of jam, marmalade, liqueur and pie filling:

My instagram followers (@quiltsnkids) have seen nothing but cherry posts for more than a week, ha.

But no more!  I'm done.  DONE.  And finally my fabric.com order showed up and I will be quite busy working on a quilt again!  This one is a commissioned quilt for a friend of my dad's--she's a breast cancer survivor and wants to celebrate and reward herself with a beautiful pink quilt:

All from Fabric.com.  They have a nice selection of pink ribbon fabrics.

She chose a big star pattern and that center pink/white fabric, I chose the rest of the pinks, the Kona Oyster background and the grey Sketch for the back.  I'm not a pink person, but I'm pretty excited about this quilt!
