BrendaK asked me to post this beautiful African Queen Quilt she made for a dear friend. She is currently not able to post pictures. After quilting, I was able to drop it off in person begin June.

Thank You for your comments. Anna did a wonderful job quilting this for me. The fabric in the dresses came from Africa.
I pieced this quilt top a few years ago and wasn't sure how to quilt it. Well Anna came to the rescue and did a SUPER job. I can't thank her enough. I just have to bind it and then
give it to one of my best friends.

Yes, she did an awesome job. This quilt is very large, an extra long queen.

I always like new friends too. Let me know what you do with the aboriginal prints. I have some pieces left from a long time ago when my son wanted a snake quilt. Yeah, don't ask. LOL It turned out nice.

You both have done an A+ job making and quilting this lovely quilt. I’m anxious to see photos of the friend receiving it! I’d probably cry, tears of joy! I wanted to make one as soon as I saw it. I still haven’t but yours may inspire me.

Great quilt and nice fabric selection for the dresses!

This is a beautiful quilt! African Queens are the newest Sunbonnet Sues! Love it!

I found my old info on this block and it's now called International Sisters. I want to put different shades for all the Sisters.

Thanks for letting us know the alternative name. I think African Queen is very fitting though for BrendaK's quilt, as it has all African fabrics and who it is going to.
