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.
ReplyDeleteI 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...
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
