Allena's Path quilt
I began this project in 2018, making my templates and cutting out all the pieces, which by the way there are only 240 curved pieces. This quilt is a replica of one made, circa 1932, by my great grandmother, Allena M. Hasty Jeffries. I have the honor of owning her quilt. Like hers, mine is entirely hand sewn and hand quilted. I replicated the quilting design too with the exception of the borders. Although there is an enormous amount of hand work, I found it quite relaxing. I also found my mind wandering and contemplating what our ancestors lives were like. I'd like to think grandma approves and is smiling. Thanks for looking.
