A friend in California has been after me for several year to make a quilt for her. I finally relented and made this queen sized New York Beauty. My husband, the photographer and computer guy, always takes the bed quilt pictures on our bed so anyone looking at my blog will see the old Victorian often. Anyway, my friend is a reading specialist at the elementary school level and this quilt reflects her perky, happy personality.
Her daughter wanted a queen sized quilt as well but she has an enormous redbone coonhound. Since Finn sleeps on the bed I was reluctant to make her a quilt but she promised that she would cover it when she was out of the apartment. Even with that promise I didn't want to invest a great deal of time with too much applique or too much quilting so this Melon Slice is the result. This was also in Quilters Newsletter though I don't remember the issue. Lots of interesting blue fabrics from many different continents and decades.
Everyone should check out Quilter Blogs at www.quilterblogs.com. Lots of folks from all over with different perspectives and different focuses.
