Arboreturn quilt by Bonnie
 

Several years ago I was in a quilt shop near Kansas City and saw the most beautiful quilt hanging on the wall - Arboreturn (pattern by Granole Girl) I purchased the pattern but never got around to making the quilt. A couple of weeks ago in walks a customer, Bonnie, who has made this quilt, and I fell in love with it all over again. Bonnie added lovely large borders to make the quilt the size she wanted. We chose Hobbs Poly batting and used about 7 different colors of thread on it. I did do a little stitching on top of the applique to help define the leaves.

wow gorgeous!!!

Love the quilt and the amazing quilting. BrendaK

Beautiful quilt!

If I remember correctly the blues are Batiks. Sorry, I can't give you the name of the fabric.

This is my kind of quilt.

I'm trying to think. I know it was a suburb of KC. Located just southwest of KC. It's been at least 12 years ago and my mind is not recalling the name of the shop; but there were several quilt shops within walking distance of each other. I was with a bus load of quilters out for a day trip. Gosh, I sure wish I could remember the name of the shop.

That's a fine job.

What a gorgeous quilt!! And the quilting is fabulous! Great work.

That is a real work of art. Just beautiful.

Beautiful! Love those feathers!
