This incredibly beautiful quilt was made by Victoria Findlay Wolfe. She hosted an challenge exchange over at 15 Minutes Play. The challenge was to make something from nothing into a 12" finished quilt using the fabric making techniques we use on that site. I have been loving all the quilts people have been making for each other, and I especially loved this one. I was so excited today when I saw the postman put a squishy into my mail box. Then, when I saw Victoria's return address, I was even more excited. I am one very lucky woman to have received this quilt. This is the quilt I made for the challenge. It is on its way to its new home right now.
In other news of the day, I got back to working on En Vino Veritas. I trimmed and pressed and finished piecing all 96 B units, so now I have two stacks ready to put together into squares.
I did get four blocks put together and up on the design wall so we could all get some sense of what it is going to look lie all together. I am not really sure right now if the sage green was a good choice for the background, but I am going to live with it. I really liked it at first, mostly because I like the color and the weight of the cotton is wonderful. I am sure it will be fine when all is said and done.
I also washed the new fat quarters I got for the next preemie quilt. I really don't like washing fat quarters because there is so much raveling, but it needs to be done for these quilts. I have picked fabrics in cheddar, orange, and olive green. Not really baby fabrics, but they are bright and cheerful. I am going to make flying geese for this one. Now, I have to find backing flannel that works with these colors. Hopefully, I will have something to show you on this one tomorrow.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you who do mom-like things.
Joyful quilting, everyone.

What a beautiful quilt you received... very nice! I like the one you made just as well tho... I think I need to wander over to 15 Minutes Play and see what you all are up to!
I think you gave as good as you got on the swap quilts, Miki - both are gorgeous! And your En Vino Veritas block makes me drunk just looking at it - but it's awfully pretty!
I agree with the others, both swap quilts are beautiful. Your En Vino Veritas quilt is looking wonderful.
What a gift you have with your vision for color and block patterns. Thanks for what you do for Alzheimer's Art Quilts.
