Default Of all the quilts you've made.....

Which quilt are you the most proud of (pics please): here is mine.

It's a remake of a 28 yr old quilt hand embroidered, hand quilted Muppet Babies design made by my SIL for my #2 daughter. It was stored incorrectly and moths ate holes in the blocks, I think because the batting was an old wool blanket. Fortunately all the embroidered blocks were still in excellent condition. I very carefully cut out the blocks and incorporated them into a new quilt.

My SIL traced color book pages to muslin and lovingly stitched each page using running stitches. I used Kaffe Fassett fabric orange and green to bring out the thread colors on the blocks and a chevron fabric for the backing. Each pinwheel is FMQ with a squared 'feathers' design using my DSM.

My daughter loved it and now she uses it all the time instead of storing it away!
