Laverna has been at it again, and piecing yet another lovely quilt. She told me who this is for, but I don't want to spoil the surprise. I quilted a feathered wreath in the star blocks and outer border. Then a bamboo design in the first border, and kind of a poinsettia star design in the smaller star blocks. The background fill is branchy spirals, not that they show at all. The thread color she chose is a nearly dead on match for the background, so it gives it a wonderful texture. Boy is someone going to be lucky to get this one!
Carol's son is certainly lucky, he gets this quilt! He chose the colors, and Carol did the piecing. He then was quite specific in how he wanted it quilted, so diagonal water meander in the body, and bears in the border. I used a cookie cutter that I had purchased in Alaska, and I think that's the most use it's ever received!
