My latest creation....

A gift for a dear friend in Southern California. I worked on this quilt for about 2 months off and on. I made each nine patch square separate and then pieced it together. The solid sashing between the blocks covers where I sewed them together. Then I machine embroidered the center of each three striped nine patch block. I chose three dominant colors in the fabric.

Gail r designed my label as per my instructions. Thanks Gail :)

Love the blue and green and the embroidery just gives it a nice finishing touch.

Thank you ladies.

I have 4 more quilts in various stages of being done. Hopefully by the end of the week I should have them finished.

That looks great! I like how you used the stripes in the alternate nine patches.
