Summer is turning to fall overnight but I'm just not ready for the change of seasons.
This little quilt captures the essence of summer with its ripe berry reds, sunny yellows, garden-fresh calicoes, and crisp gingham checks.
It's a project I set aside years ago when I gave up doing handwork. Fortunately, my friend Ruth offered to finish it.
Just look at her beautiful stitches! She crosshatched through the 2" squares...
and quilted cables in the daisy-print border. I love how the perle cotton catches the light.
There are strawberries on the back too.
It's a little taste of summer to savor whenever I please!
