patricia3 These Boots are Made for Skiing - This quilt was made as a gift for a young woman who is studying to be a ski coach. It will be given to her sometime in 2009. She is an Alaskan so many of the boots sport Alaskan themes. The boots are all paperpieced with was a surprise for the maker who thought she was purchasing an applique pattern. The original pattern has 20 different boots but I thought boots should be in pairs so made 2 of each. As always, only cotton fabrics, batting and threads are used in my quilts. It was a very fun quilt to make. The hardest thing was finding the ski themed fabric for the red border and there is also a section of backing done in a blue ski themed fabric.
