I worked out a great deal with a friend of mine, B. She bought all the material to make a queen size quilt and I get to make the quilt. B is also paying for the professional long arm quilting. I get to do all the fun stuff and I didn't have to pay for materials. B chose a pink and chocolate brown color scheme, one of my favorite combinations.
B wanted something rectilinear and I've always wanted to do a bento box, so that's what we decided on.
I made all the squares and and cut them into quarters. Now I'm in the process of sewing them back together again. Working on this quilt makes me so happy. I love pink and brown together.
I've pull MIL's framed squares out to finish it up.
The in law's 40th wedding anniversary is coming up and I want to give them this quilt. I need to get it done. I got stuck on the back, but now it's looking good.
MIL is an English teacher and when I saw the bookshelf quilts appearing I knew I needed to work that into her quilt.
