    Default Adoption quilt for Chloe

    About a year ago, I asked for help on how I should convert a pattern for a Chinese lantern quilt to a different size/measurement. A wonderful lady, scraplady, helped me out. She took the pattern and reworked it for my special needs. I had been given 88 squares of 7-8 inch fabrics to incorporate in the quilt. All of the people involved in the adoption gave fabric for Chloe. Her mother had this fabric for 10 years, and she didn't have any idea what to do with it. So, I asked her to send me the fabrics and I finally finished today. June is the ten year anniversary of them getting their beautiful daughter. I'm mailing it off to Hawaii tomorrow from Italy where I currently live. I hope it gets there soon. Scraplady said to post a picture when I finished, so here it is.
