Design Source - Description | This quilt resulted from a challenge among the Prince Georges Quilt Society (MD) when 13 quilters each exchanged six 6" calico squares. Every fabric had to be included in a quilt plus 3 solids and a background fabric could be added. I added flesh for the arms & hands, and pink and blue to frame the cornerstone squares. I was the only quilter who made a SBS quilt, and the other quilters enjoyed finding their fabrics in the quilt and loved it, but it has never been shown publicly. |
