Julie’s Finished Memory Quilt

Here’s a quilt that Julie had started for her daughter. All the women in her daughter’s life contributed fabric which Julie then made into two blocks and embroidered their name on one of the blocks.  The blocks waited and waited, I think Julie said 10 years to become a quilt.  I met Julie when she sold us our house and we stayed in touch.  A few years later, Julie contacted me and asked if I would finish the quilt for her.  It was an awesome project! We talked over each step, picked out the border and backing, decided on the width of the sashing, the quilting pattern and thread color.  The quilt went home to Julie to gift to her daughter last summer!   African Samba digital design, Omni thread in Ocean Blue.
