Afternoon! I can hardly believe I haven't posted since the end of December!! Where does the time go???
I'll start off with a quilt I made for a close friend of David and mine! There are times in life when the "unknowns" leave a person (and their family) topsy turvy as in this case, so I decided to make him a Comfort Quilt to wrap up in! I named it "Inner Strength", represented by the Celtic Symbol for Inner Strength.
I just happened to have on hand a set of Moda Cake Mix Recipe sheets! I can highly recommend having some of these handy when you want to knock out a quilt in a hurry (or faster than normal)! I decided that I wanted each block to be a different fabric so off I went! I didn't realize until I started cutting things apart that each sheet made 2 blocks with the same fabric so I have enough to make another quilt (which my Mother has called dibs on!)!
David & I wanted this to be a warmer than usual quilt so I used Hobbs cotton/wool blend batting and a flannel backing!
One of the many joys of quilt making for me is gifting a quilt to friends and family and when I have the opportunity to give it in person, it is icing on the cake. I know this quilt expresses the love and support we have for our friend and his family and will give many hours of comfort.
Until next time,
Happy quilting!
Leah
