COME WHAT MAY QUILT

I generally design the quilts I make but decided to purchase a pattern and fabric from Keepsake Quilting.  I had been told that their fabrics were top quality and found that to be true.  The pattern was actually a book with three different size options.  The amount of fabric shipped was more than enough to complete the project (always great to add more fabric to the stash, right?).  The finished size for the quilt I chose to make was 64" x 80" and made with a total of 24 blocks.  One of my favorite things about the pattern is how the quilt blocks "disappear" within the quilt.  Each block consists of nine pieces of fabric but when assembled you will see that fabrics connect to make the block pattern blend in with the next block.  The fabric for the back looks like a watercolor, fresh and beautiful colors.

I made the quilt for my parents for Christmas this year.  We live about 200 miles apart so we met up for lunch after Christmas and exchanged gifts.  Apparently the quilt was put to good use right away as my brother drove my parents home and my father napped in the back of the car with the quilt.  The pattern was a fun one to work with and will likely make another one day (perhaps a lap-sized version).
