Frog Fingers
 
1 Attachment(s)
A friend of mine gave me a stack of basket motifs from the local, Wintu tribe. I am planning a quilt using several of them using the colors one would find in the actual baskets, but recently when I bought a bunch of lovely batiks, it occured to me that one batik resembled the skin of a frog, so I decided to do a small wall hanging of the motif called "Frog Fingers". When I showed it to DH, he informed me that it belonged on the wall by the bed. I had no particular use in mind when I made it.

What a wonderful quilt, love the colors. I can see why he wanted it by the bed so you can look at it often! Good for you.:thumbup:

It is always nice when the DH says any thing about a quilt/project

Thank you. My DH is my biggest fan, so this was not surprising. He was a little miffed that I am making him wait until guild meeting on Wednesday to put it up. My plan is to make a basket motif lap quilt for a Wintu friend of mine. She teaches Wintu culture/arts at a local school.
