This week I'm showing
my quilt which is one of my favorites. I took this class at Yankee Pride in Essex Jct., Vermont while Aidan was a baby so it was the fall of 2008. This was a mystery quilt and I was so nervous picking out my colors - my first quilt with batiks. I believe it was my first mystery quilt ever and it actually turned out really well! I was working on the top that winter and did manage to get the top done before Emily was born in April 2009. It took another year for it to get quilted but that's life with 2 kids under age 2 in the house.

The colors don't show too well but the border is a purple batik with greens and blues.

I love how it looks like there are angles and it was all straight sewing. Such a neat effect.

A close up of the quilting. I just did loops and swirls.
This quilt has all my favorite colors in it and now lives in the 'reading room' at the front of the house. It is often used to make forts and tents to entertain the kids and does get a lot of use. Head on over to
Krisite's and see a beautiful quilt show of memories.
