Connie’s Quilt 2002 |
When her youngest daughter was pregnant in 2002, my co-worker and BFF Brenda decided to make a quilt for her newest grandbaby and asked me to help her. Never having quilted before, Brenda signed up for her first quilting class --the Rail Fence --at the Fabric Patch and asked me to sign up with her. I had already taken the same class in 1999 so I chose to do something different this time. Instead of making one large quilt, I made two smaller quilts.
The fabric kit I chose uses fabric with an Asian theme; the backing is a red fabric which represents good luck in the Chinese tradition. The rail fence setting I used reminds me of Chinese lanterns. Since my sister is a world traveler, I decided to give her one of the 2 quilts. The quilt measures 56” square and I used the “stitch in the ditch” method to quilt it.
