Materials

I used cotton scraps from my stash. I needed to buy just a little more fabric for the backing and to get the right look. The colors were chosen to coordinate with Ruth's decor. This was the first quilt I made with my new sewing machine. I used a decorative vine stitch in the sashing when I quilted it to mirror the print on the backing.

What was your inspiration?

Ruth is such a beautiful person and sweetheart! She is also the Mother In Law of my Best Friend.

What are you most proud of?

I completed this quilt relatively quickly. Winter was coming and Ruth needed just a little something to keep the chill off her legs.

I found this pattern in a book of quilt projects my Mother in Law bought. I can get the name of the book for you if you want? Maybe I can find it online for you...Give me a couple days, OK?

Beautiful! You did a great job. I also made this as a wedding quilt for my son in chocolate brown, peach, oranges & maroon--using the white for guest to write their wishes on to the Bride/Groom. Great quilt for numerous color choices. Casper
