    Default Love letters
    Hi, this is a quilt I finished a couple of years ago. Thought I would share it. It's from the Barb Adams and Alma Allen book "When the cold wind blows". It's called Love Letters. I did it in batiks. Each block took me about a month to hand applique. I had it quilted by my local LA lady. She did echo quilting 1/4".

    Hard to hand applique on batiks. Bet you had some sore fingers.
