Cue 2010. A few months ago I discovered the small stack of fabric on the bottom shelf of my closet and immediately thought of my nephew Davis. He lives far away from us in a beautiful part of Oregon. We don't know each other well, but I recently got to spend some time with him at a family reunion. Davis has got to be the coolest 4 year old I know.
As luck (or bad-luck) would have it, my quilt arrived at his house last week, shortly before he fell and broke his arm. I hear that when he got home he wrapped himself in the quilt and took a little rest. Davis, I do the same thing when I'm not feeling well. (oh and by the way... did you notice the little butterflies in the fabric? They're hiding!)
Finished quilt size: 50x65
Gorgeous quilt, I really love the design and the fabrics. Poor Davis, I hope he's feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteI love this! The colors are perfect. I also love how you have the striped fabric going randomly this way and that. Great job :-)
ReplyDeleteWow - your quilt is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great colors and patterns.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt Andy, plus I love how you took it for a walk.
ReplyDeleteAndy Davis is doing better, his cast comes off in four weeks and his beautiful quilt is on his bed now. It is inspiration now for what was a beige blah room. Thank you so much, we I mean he feels so special to have received one of your quilts :-)
ReplyDeletewhat pattern/technique did you use? i have a zig-zag pattern in my ds quilts book but just wondering if there is an easier way than cutting 1 billion triangles.
