Sally is one of my SIL's (we married brothers)
... she just turned 50... and celebrated 30 years married bliss....
I started this quilt last year (so it was one of my UFO's listed earlier this year)
and finished it in January so it could be posted over to England....
and finished it in January so it could be posted over to England....
I used a Jelly Roll in Portabello Market for the blocks ...
Some detail of the quilting.... I used a variegated thread.... four leaves at each block and concentric petals at the sides... and feathers for the borders....
a pretty label
I love this backing fabric.....
I hope this keeps Sally snug - they are having some very cold weather
