Design Source - Description | I started this quilt wihile our daughter, Jen, was studying at University in Mercia, Spain. Jen helped me choose some of the fabrics. It was completed for her shortly after she returned to the United States to complete her studies. I extended the block pattern into the border to give it a sense of completion. Lots of half square triangles! So fun to piece. The machine quilting is exquisite. While Jen was living in New York City, her new apartment hatched bed bugs. Ugh! She had to take the quilt (and everthing else) to the laundry to be washed and dried on hot. I was glad I had prewashed all of the fabrics. It came out beautifully. |
