I have finally finished my youngest daughters quilt, sewn in memory of her Grandad.
I put four colour catchers in and hoped it would be enough.
This quilt has been six months in the making and a steep learning curve.
I loved to see it on the line dancing in the breeze.

| Every block tells a story. |
 |
| It looks well on Abi's bed. |
 |
| Love this Pippi block - reminds me of Abi!!!. |
 |
| A very wonky house. |
 |
| Love this butterfly made from Dad's Laura Ashley pillow case. |
 |
| The heart of the quilt - LOVE. |
I brought a pile of Dad's shirts back with me in Feb, the red particularly provokes a memory as he was wearing this last May ( 2011) when he celebrated his 90th birthday.
The dress in the Pippi block was actually material I used to make a dress for Abi when she was a nipper, so something from her too.
Abi's favourite block is the log cabin, mine is the Pippi. I wonder what yours is?
Now to start big sis's Star memory quilt. Could be awhile.
Bye Ruth xo
My favourite is the butterfly! Looks amazing! X

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful memory quilt! Lots of hard work and love in this one Ruth. My fave is the star flower and the matching double pinwheel is great too.
