This week's Quilt of the Week was chosen by Alex.  It's called "Panic."  It's 47" x 58" and is made of commercial batiks.  It mixes piecing and applique and was machine pieced and machine quilted.  It's from a purchased pattern by Kathie Alyce and uses the Flip Flop Block.

Aunt Sewsie says "I named this quilt "Panic" because I had several mishaps along the way -- a great learning experience.  I loved making this quilt so much and then had some faulous quilting done on it by a long-arm quilter that I wasn't going to give up.  I'm glad I didn't."

We're glad you didn't either AuntSewsie.
