So this post is a little late due to some personal issues I was having. But here it is :). I am doing the Christmas in July Blitz by Monkey Dog Quilts. I am making a quilt for my Grandmother (on my father's side) for Christmas this year. Since she has done so much for me over the years I figured it is the least I can do for her. It will be a signature quilt with a block for each of my cousins, aunts, uncles, father, and sister. My grandma is very proud of her Scottish heritage and immigrated to America when she was 19. I have decided to make the Quilt purple and green because those colors remind me of her home. These are four of the fabrics I have picked out. I still need to get two more that are green.
Below is a picture of inspiration. Although my quilt will be somewhat different it will still have the same type blocks.
I Have drawn this rough sketch to see if it is how I want the quilt but I am not quite sure yet. I think I really like it, what do you think?
Right after I picked the colors for this quilt a found this quilt being done for an ill mother. I plan on using my left over fabric to make squares for it. Maybe you could help too?
I have a blog about a friendship quilt passed down in my family from 1937. I'd love to have you stop by my site to visit my blog!
