-In a saucepan, cover the eggs with water. Make sure they are covered with about an inch extra water.
-Bring water to a rolling boil, then turn off heat.
-Cover saucepan for 14-17 minutes.
-Drain the eggs and cool them in cold water. This keeps the yolks yellow, and prevents any green film from forming around them.
-Crack the eggs, and let them sit in the cold water for one hour. This gets the water under the eggshell, for easy peeling.

Now, the things I did wrong:
-I was quilting at the same time and I lost track of time, so instead of letting the eggs sit for 14-17 minutes, I let them sit for about 25 minutes.
-I cooled my eggs in cold water, but I know I did something wrong with this step, because my yolks had the green film around them, so maybe not.
-I didn't crack my eggs before letting them sit in the cold water for an hour, so my eggs were extremely hard to peel.
-I actually fell asleep and let the eggs sit in the water for about 2-3 hours.
With all this error, they still tasted good! Plus, I did get my quilt top done!

I've got my sandwich layers all ready..

but before I go straight to basting, I think I might play with some embroidery, and possibly applique details.

wow. i wonder how fast i could make my quilt if i had a sewing machine. but i wouldn't know how to use it anyways so it would probably take longer. ;) i hope your new niece will treasure her quilt forever!!! pretty colors!!
- i should get a blogger login just to leave you comments. ;)
That green film on the eggs is so unappetizing. I imagine the eggs simply cooked too long. Regarding your quilt, it looks wonderful~ Happy to know that it was completed, and the eggs still tasted good.
