Day 242: Even as I am working on another hexagon quilt, I am also cutting the little wedge-shaped pieces which comprise the arcs of Double Wedding Ring. They are smaller, giving me the opportunity to use up some of the fabrics from the bag labelled "Fragments." It seemed like as good a time as any to better organize my fabric stash, so I started pulling things out of one box to put in others. In the bottom, I found several plastic bags with labels saying, "Potato Chip." Now I've made a lot of quilts in my career, and I can generally remember where they've gone if I have some sort of prompt to put me on the right track, but this one was a puzzle. "Potato Chip? Who got Potato Chip?" I asked Merry. "Kevin got Scrappy Stars. The boys got Patience Corner and the Twenty-Year Quilt. Joe and Sharon got hexagons. Anne got the first Cathedral Window. Who got Potato Chip?" (There were others, but those sprang immediately to mind.) "Ah!" I said, "I bet it's in my blog!" And it was. Potato Chip had gone to one of my sisters-of-the-heart. And the funny thing is, I had just been thinking that I had never made a quilt for her. This is one of the reasons why I keep a blog: quilt phenology.
