Happy St. Pat's Day!!

Yes I'm Irish, no I don't drink green beer . . .


For St. Patrick's Day I thought I would show
my finished Aloha Quilt.
All batiks, it is a variation on the
log cabin design.
A view from my second floor deck.

I love this! Just wish the sun was shining.

I did a piano key border.

A closer view . . . .


The back. The kid is holding it up.

Look! Something taller than the kid!

This quilt is queen size and I must admit

that I slept with it on my bed last night before it goes to it's new home.

I read somewhere that you if you sleep under

a quilt before you give it,

it retains the love you feel for the person receving it.



Corny? Yeah probably, but throw me a bone here.



Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone!!

  6. Missed this yesterday on St. Patrick's day, but it's just as beautiful today. Was it a difficult pattern to sew?
