This quilt was made for my niece, Kerina, back in 1995. A lovely child and a lovely young woman. Check out her website: Makeup By Kerina.
The quilt uses the grandmother’s fan block done using Christmas fabric/colors. I pieced the quilt, but had Scottie Brooks do the hand quilting for me. The quilt measures 72 in X 90 in.
As with my first quilt, I failed to take photos, but Kerina sent these to me. It turned out to be an “in-between” size as twin quilts are usually 65 in x 88 in and double bed-size quilts are 80 in X 88 in.
Here is a view of the back which shows some of Scottie’s beautiful quilting.

This is another beautiful quilt. And again, I love the plain white setting off the colours of the patches. Kerina is very fortunate to own so pretty a piece of art.
I do just have one other comment ... HAND quilted??!! Oh dear stars... I grow faint at the very idea of that!
Great job, Ramona. We all just made ourselves custom double backed fleeced blankets (tied at the end) and made the sizes irregular, to ensure extra to cover all of our different bodies. I like have an extra foot of material...
Have a great weekend.

Beautiful quilt - 1995 was the year I started quilting and you were already far beyond where I am now in talent and knowledge! blessings, marlene
I love how you did that, Ramona. She took great photos of it. Beautiful.
Oh that's interesting, I was wondering how one would achieve curves.
Nice!
Very beautiful. Love the nutcracker!

Very pretty contrast between the curves and the solid white.
Beautiful quilt and looks so precise! Nice work!

Lovely quilt. You have done a wonderful job. thanks for sharing.
Beautiful. I like the way you set the fans. Your eye just follows it around so you can see all of them.
Very beautiful quilt work !
Charming quilt! Love the setting!
I love the rich colors on the light background - it really sets the patchwork part off.
Thanks for sharing your gorgeous quilt. Hope you are getting around to visit some of the quilts- It is a great show.
