my first quilt

This is the first quilt that I ever made - that was about 20 years ago.  I had seen a quilt show on PBS (Eleanor Burns perhaps) that showed how to make a bow tie block with a 3D knot rather than a flat knot ... it was fun to create.  I even hand quilted it!!! This one was made from fabric left over from sewing outfits for my two wee granddaughters.  I'd hoped they cuddle in this quilt and pick out the fabrics that had made them a dress, shorts, or whatever.

What a pretty quilt, Kate! I love the idea of your granddaughters trying to spy the fabrics that were the same as their clothes...

Kate, that's so gorgeous! I love to read the story behind the creation of a quilt... and what a lovely way to photograph it... ♥
