Now that Melissa's quilt is done, I have time to work on a new quilt, one for our beautiful cousin, Ann Nutting. I make the top, add the binding, and she does all the hand quilting and finishing of the binding. The best part: she gets to keep the finished quilt! We have collaborated on several quilts now, and it's a lot of fun to work this way.
I've been promising her this one for 2 years, it's almost ready for mailing! This is the top, and tomorrow I'll put the backing, batting and binding on. The inner blocks are called "Card Tricks" and are about 12" x 12", so the final size is just over 5 feet on each side, making a nice lap quilt that should be plenty warm and toasty. It looks a lot nicer in person, the colors in this picture are not really "on" the red is really a deeper red, the outer border is almost a navy blue, of black and blue swirls. Look closely and you'll see all the rainbow colors!

The photo was taken as hanging on the clothesline by basting pins, blowing gently in the wind after we had an overnight dusting of 1/2 inch of snow. Very nice and pretty morning!
