My,Kaffe Fassett summer quilt is finally finished except for the binding. My friend, Sue Vollbrecht of Quillted Memories, did the long arm Quilting and gave it to me at our Monona Quilters meeting on Monday.
Sue used Dream cotton batting, nice and cool for summer. She used red thread for both sides, which shows well on the back. I chose a loose swirl pattern.
For the 16-inch blocks I used all pre-cuts and each required only five seams. The best part was choosing the fabrics for each block. Here is a right side up view, showing the charm squares in yellow.
As soon as I attach about ten miles of red binding I will love sleeping under it with sweet dreams of more Quilts. I wish the same for all of you.
