Ta Da!!! :)
In 2009, my friend Chrisann's mother, Karen, passed away.
This quilt was made for Chrisann's brother Terry.
Terry's wife, Ruth chose the pattern from one of my first quilts.
I used some of Karen's clothes to make the quilt.
I made one for their father last Christmas. Blogged HERE.
For the back, I used a grey chevron minky.
The quilt is for Terry's birthday :)
Construction notes: I used Pellon featherweight fusible stabilizer on the back of the knits. I thought it was the same kind I had bought before , but it was not :/ This stabilizer was to thick. It made for very difficult and laborious quilting. I ended up breaking THREE needles while quilting it.
What a quilt of love! The minky is a lovely finish, must feel like a hug.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilting! I just bought a new book showing me how to do those free motion swirls........lots of practice coming up.
Your quilting looks great. I love quilts with a story. Super special and it's a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and story!! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteLove it! specially the colors.
ReplyDeleteGreat colors, and I love the history of it. I'm glad you were able to finish despite broken needles! That is so frustrating!
ReplyDeleteI like the quilt. Too bad it was so hard to quilt.
ReplyDeleteVery very nicely done and what a special story behind it all. I have a stash of red black white for a quilt, I must get onto it before the year ends!!
