About this quilt
We found a wonderful pattern in a quilting magazine. It is a
combination of the traditional snail trail block and star blocks in a
wide variety of fabrics and colors. Perfect - we could use fabric from
our
personal collections - and some of our collections are of considerable
size.
However, we did decide we needed a theme fabric.
Of course, we would need to agree on what the color theme needed to be,
so we went shopping. We found a great print to use as the anchor
fabric for the quilt.
Making a quilt of this size and complexity requires many hands. The Evergreen Quilters spent countless hours cutting the fabric, piecing the blocks and hand quilting.
Here are some of the " quilting bees" we convened over a period of about 8 months.Follow our progress.
