Mary's Quilt

She finally finished her months-long project. I really like the colors she chose. She also made a really cute pillowcase, one of her first completed items.

The pillowcase. Notice the butterfly trim!


A close-up of the quilt. She painstakingly arranged the squares and triangles the way she wanted on paper. Then she worked with her teacher to sew the fabric into that pattern, row by row. Then came the tying, and finally the binding. Mary actually did all of this herself!


The whole ensemble.

I am SO impressed! Love the butterfly print and trim, and the colors. The quilt is awesome. Getting the points to come out right is not easy, or it wasn't when I tried it some years ago. Miss Mary, you're amazing!
