This quilt started because I wanted to start a new quilt, but I didn't have anyone in mind to give it to and it wasn't necessarily in the colors that I would pick out to make something for myself. I was just wandering around JoAnn's one day, they were having a sale on fat quarters and I got enough to make this quilt with this pattern and in a weekend, I got it cut out and sewn together and...set it aside for months. Because it didn't have a home, I just let it sit.
Then there was a death in the family and I felt in my heart that this quilt was meant to be sent to the widower and his daughter as a sort of comfort measure. So I quilted it in one weekend and spent a marathon night on the couch handsewing the binding on. I call it my "spa" quilt and it will be on it's way to a new home tomorrow.
I'm so happy this drifting quilt now has a new home!
