What a striking combination of pattern and colors. They should love and cherish this quilt forever. Where do you live that the grass is still green in January? I haven't seen green grass in 4 months! Dianne

Donna, your quilt is adorable. I love your quilting too. You did a wonderful job on it. You can tell you were really enjoying yourself.

I basically designed it thinking there has to be an easier way. I traced a plate on freezer paper and folded it in half three times. I squared off the edges of the resulting bundle and have a pattern for a Dresden block With bigger spikes. Color Choices make a big difference. I have another quilt in progress with same color spokes. Makers big difference

Lovely lovely quilt! Quilting brings so many thing together - an eye for color, putting prints together in an aesthetic fashion, meticulous stitching, patience - the list can go on. My gran used to do it and there were times when grandpa actually helped with the cutting. My aunt started one recently and her granddaughter helps out. Its something worth passing on to the next generation she always says. She got her college going helper some homework help for her birthday in return for the help that is extended so generously. She's also working on a secret quilt she plans to give her granddaughter when she passes out of college. I just sit and watch them work together when I'm visiting. There's a sense of camaraderie between them which I really enjoy!
