It was a row quilt from several (maybe 10?) years ago. When my long-time friend wanted a quilt for her niece, I invited her to look through the "pile." She picked this one, so I had to put the borders on it and get it quilted.
The fabrics are all batiks. Some of the blocks were paper pieced -- and look, there is an entire row of flying geese! Cornelia did a lovely job on the quilting. This quilt is featured in my soon-to-be released YouTube video about Susie's Magic binding.
Here is Leah holding her quilt. Isn't she pretty? And her Mama raised her right -- she acted excited about the quilt, and gave me a thank-you hug!
I dropped the ball on counting quilts this year -- I have no idea what number this one would be!

Love the quilt and the comment about her mama teaching her right. I just need a big like button today!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! It's great to have you back, but I'm glad you had such a great time with Jacob! My Jacob spent his first two nights away on school camp last week and I found it torturous! He is only 8! Gill x
