My Bonnet Girl Quilt

What a beautiful quilt. Your sister is lucky to have a loved item survive such a tramatic thing in her life.

It was my bonnet girl quilt... covered in mud but not a tear in it. It now resides on the bed in her guest room of her new house. Living proof that a sister's love can't be destroyed.

This is a beautiful quilt. I have had these patterns for years. I would love to know what size your blocks are, and how wide your sashings are. Did you use the actual size of the patterns? This information would be helpful. What size is this quilt? How many blocks did you do?..Thanks for your help..

That was my first thought, too... "One of her first quilts?!?". I've been quilting since dinosaurs walked the earth & couldn't even begin to make something so beautiful. I'm so happy it was saved from Katrina. I can't wait to see more of your work!!!
