I started this quilt back in 2005 and I just now finished it. There is a very tender story behind it but I will save that for another day. The quilt is now finished and has been delivered to it's rightful owner.
This cheery pattern is called 9 patch Snowball and a fairly easy pattern to follow. I started it at a quilter's weekend retreat and I really enjoyed how the pattern went together so nicely. The most time consuming part was cutting out the 2 inch squares from 2.5" strips and then organizing the colors into the 9 patch blocks. The backing is all blue and the same fabric as the stop border and the binding.
The quilt reminds me of spring, a time of new changes and renewal. It feels good to be finishing quilts again and marking them off my list of "Quilts to Finish". I don't have many blog fans or followers but rest assured if you ever read this blog there are more finished quilts to post soon, so stay tuned. I started a new block of the month class in September and I have two quilts just waiting in the wings to be quilted. Plus- there are 10 more quilts to finish on that crazy list of mine.
