Block of the month 2017

Each time a niece or nephew of mine graduate from high school I have given them a quilt as their graduation gift.  Sizes and patterns have varied a lot over the years.  When I started this, I had already had 3 of them graduate so one niece received the quilt when she graduated with her masters degree from U of U, a nephew received his quilt when he married last winter and now the oldest is getting married and so she to received her quilt as her wedding gift.


This quilt is Provo Cotton Shops 2017 block of the month quilt, made with Riley Blake fabrics (from a variety of different lines)



I free motion quilted this on my Babylock Aria machine.



I have one room in my basement that isn’t finished.  It is mainly a storage room, but I won’t let my husband finish it because this is where I baste them.  I duct tape them to the floor, using only the colored duct tapes ( they’re less sticky), and then pin them.



Jennifer and her husband John loved the quilt!
