Out of the cupboard, actually off the roller. This quilt has been rolled up on a cardboard tube for a very long time. Its fun to see it again. I don't know why it was banished for so long. I completed this in 1993. I remember the piecing was challenging because those narrow trapezoids in the squares did not want to match up with the green around each flower. I machine quilted in the ditch around each flower segment and I was not doing free motion quilting at the time. It was stitch stitch stitch and lift the presser foot and turn the quilt and stitch stitch stitch some more. I quilted a vine and leaves in the border the same way. Stitch and pivot and I did a double line for the vines and veins. My quilting has come a long way since then. The sunroom is the perfect place for this quilt. --Ann--

Such a pretty quilt for spring. It's fun to go back and look at what we did years ago. I think about making my very first quilt using cardboard templates. It was when I was first married and that quilt was on our bed for years. Memories!
