I thought I’d post an update on the next quilt I have to finish. It’s still unnamed, but my trusty quilt-namer is working on it. In keeping with the theme of naming quilts after songs, Josh suggested “Yellow” which is a Coldplay song, but he’s going to think about it more before he makes a [...]

I’ve recently finished this quilt that my customer plans to give to a friend for her birthday. The customer chose the verse. This picture shows the background quilting better: Here’s an example of another one I’d done previously for a friend.
