In 2020 I'd gone to Amarillo, TX with a friend and as we headed back home, we stopped at a quilt shop in Clovis, NM. The first thing we saw when we walked in was this quilt on the wall and I don't know what it was, but we both instantly fell in love with it and had the quilt shop owner cut kits for us. I don't generally like making quilts from kits because I like selecting my own fabrics, but I loved everything about this one.
There was something about the slightly shabby, faded Americana aesthetic that spoke to me. And then it sat in a project bin for 5 years until I finally decided to tie into it in February.
The blocks are big and I didn't enjoy piecing them all that much, but they were easy and came together quickly
I've never been drawn to cheater fabrics, but I loved this one and it came in wide yardage and was on sale so I used it on the back
I'm tickled to have this one stitched together
It'll be just right on the 2nd guest room bed
Jackie and Sandy quilted a design called Geranium across it
It finishes at 88" x 100"
and I love the end result!
