Prairie Petals

Prairie Petals Pattern testing

Recently honored with the task of testing the Prairie Petals Quilt Pattern for Geraldine Wilkins of  www.livingwaterquilter.com I downloaded the pattern, made my templates, chose my fabrics, and started to work.  My favorite pallet includes purple and teal.  With Geraldine’s permission to use fabrics from my stash I choose a selection, though not a set collection, these fabrics work well together, using the purple paisley as the main focus fabric.  The large 12” blocks made this quilt go fast.  This is my quilt top minus the final borders.  I’m thinking of enlarging the borders to make it a bit bigger.

                  

                                  Thanks Geraldine for the opportunity to test this pattern for you.

Life Happens!

Fast forward 3 months.  Sometimes life just happens!  I recently had a request for a special quilt to welcome a baby girl.  The timing was short, so I had to work quickly to meet the deadline.  This is what the finished product looked like.
Pretty in Pink!
