This One Is For You, Carol!

Carol,

You have a long awaited quilt waiting for you at Mom and Dad's house. It is ready to be picked up at anytime :)

A few years back Amy and I were each working on quilts. After getting tired of sewing alone and not getting much done, we decided that Saturday mornings were going to be sewing days for us. At that time we made sure that we sewed till each of us had at least two blocks of quilt sewn. Now that I am two hours away and not in Harrisonburg every Saturday our sewing days have not been happening as much.
But this winter we went through mom's scrap material and found an abundance of brown and beige material. So we began to put it together as a pinwheel quilt with no idea where it would go once it was completed. As we were working on it Carol began to comment on how she liked the pattern and also the colors. Then she noticed that we included scraps from a shirt that she wore on the first date with her husband. At that time we all decided that it needed to be hers.

We purchased a light blue backing for the quilt which complements the browns and pulls out the tiny bit of blue that is in a few of the triangles. The blue fabric, amazingly enough, was the only fabric that we bought for the whole quilt.

Amy worked very hard a stitching up the edging, and as of this afternoon it is finally done. Carol, I hope that this will bring you warmth and great memories.
