fatquarterly   quilters in Christ

As promised over one year ago, my, how time flies! Here are some notes on the Many Miles quilt. Sorry I can’t believe its been this long.

I went back to the fun geometric realm of Nickel Quilts. I enjoyed making this pleasingly colorful largish lap quilt, although it took me a long time to finish this up.

Altogether, due to much busyness, a summer trip to Europe with my son Preston, a torn meniscus in my left knee, and a few other matters seemed to delay my work.

Anyway, I had some nice blue-green material for my border which really set this quilt off, al0ng with other colorful contrasting darks.

I made this quilt for some dear saints/friends who have been serving the Lord mainly with college students here for quite some time. It was a thank you for all their care for people and for the material given to me by the sister (in the Lord) for my quilting projects. She sews a lot, I don’t sew, I only know how to quilt. Some of the things she donated to my quilting cause were incorporated into this quilt.

I don’t remember any troubles with making this quilt, other than how long it took. It was a fairly easy pattern. I always have fun with colors. I finished it on January 15, 2016. I’m not sure if I can figure out when I started. I’ll check into it.

More to come, sooner than later.
