I made this quilt for our wonderful daughter-in-law, Kelly. When we lived in California, Kelly spent many Sunday afternoons at our kitchen table with me and my sewing buddies - waiting for her boyfriend Sam to finish Tutoring for the day - so she knew what went into putting one together. To make sure Kelly felt like one of the family (after Sam and Kelly were engaged) I wanted to make a quilt for her, just as I had for my other children.
Kelly picked the pattern and colors
Then I cut some random width strips, and started piecing
Once the blocks were made, I had Kelly help with the arrangement (at our last California Thanksgiving before our big move)
I wrapped her in this love on my last night in California. Phew! finished just in the nick of time! (I'm noticing that I was wearing sandals, in January. Yup, that's Los Angeles weather.)
Here's the back:
We are so lucky to have Kelly in our family. Thanks for picking her Sam!
Peace.
