I've had some of these scraps for years, but when my partner said he needed an extra blanket for winter...I said "I'll make you a quilt" and then I came up with an ASTRONOMICAL quilt design ;)

This is the third video in my video series about processing grief through quilting and making my first quilt.

I started my first quilt to deal with grief, thinking it would give me something positive and challenging to focus on. I decided to make a baby quilt for a friend who was moving to another country, and as the stack of blocks grew I started to feel better, but it also made me nervous I would mess up my blocks… My perfectionism took over the project stalled... but their moving date kept getting closer and I had to get going again.

This is the second video in my video series about processing grief through quilting and making my first quilt. I'm finally getting in the swing of it and it's wonderful to find solace in the moments behind the sewing machine. Block by block piecing myself and the quilt together.
