    This is a pretty quilt with a nice design and good color choices. I am glad it is no longer in storage.

    It's got a lovely vintage vibe to it--classic design, the calicos, the green apple border--it all works. Glad your girl got it out of storage--that's no place for a treasure. Now you can both rest easy.

    Kool. Love that she still had it and it now is out of storage. It's a fine quilt and still very pretty. BrendaK

I was inspired by watching Nancy Zeiman and Eleanor Burns for the first time. It isn’t showy but it is one of her treasures. She has promised never to have it in storage again. (Now I can sleep nights...lol.)
    I would have added that this is my first and it was made in 1993. I have made many quilts since this one.

    What a wonderful keepsake to have as a reminder of how far you’ve come as a quilter.

    The colors are fine. As long as they play well together, it’s all good. Nice to see it finished and being used.

    This is the first one I did. I gave it to my sister, so I still get to see it because she lives right next door. A Nine Patch, that was tied. I did not actually quilt them back then.
