My Quilt in a Book


My friend Cheryl Lynch has a new book that just came out called "Quilt Fiesta". I made this quilt for her book. I must say it is exciting to see your work in a book! Stay tuned I will be giving away 2 of her books in the near future.



I used wonder under and machine buttonhole stitch around the applique. This had to be done in a relatively short amount of time...no time for needle turn! I love the happy colors and of course, polka dots.



I also recieved my first bee block today. I really like it and look forward to seeing the rest. Thanks Tracy!

  1. You just can't beat the colors in your quilt. Did you have the border beforehand or did you just get lucky?
