I made this quilt this past July, when my grandmother was hospitalized suddenly. I started the top and had it quilted and bound in less than 10 days.
That was fortuitous, because my grandmother passed away exactly one week after I gave it to her. I named it Georgia on My Mind, because she always will be :-)
It was made completely from stash, which helped the quick-ness of it. I quilted it with little sprounts on my home machine, and machine bound it, which also helped the quick-ness. :-)
Stats:
Georgia on My Mind
Finished 60x60
Pieced, quilted and bound with Aurifil 2024 on my Bernina 750QE.
What a wonderful and meaningful quilt!

How sweet that you were able to show your grandma how you felt about her! Quilts are so special that way.
ReplyDeleteI love the deep blues with the aqua accents. Isn't it funny how we don't have any finishes for a while and then boom finish a bunch? :)
