This quilt was made for a couple's 27th wedding anniversary and a surprise from the husband to the wife. The finished quilt is 85 X 105 and weighs just short of a ton. The husband and I searched some of my books and he chose Spinning Pinwheels from "Stash-Buster Quilts" by Lynne Edwards. Since it was my my first commissioned quilt and through planning, I discovered the purchaser really wanted a bedspread. I aim to please and learned a lot of skills along the way, mostly math and how to adjust a pattern to meet the size requirements of someone who doesn't understand the intricacies of quilt making and how to keep the integrity of the pattern he picked out.

In the end, it was wonderful to see the happy face of the recipient and to see the photos they took of the quilt on their bed. I have known them casually for many years and it was an honor to be part of his special anniversary surprise.

I see the photo is sideways. If you click on it, it does shift to the correct position.
