Back in December,
my favorite aunt died.
She was my mom's sister and the
last of her generation.
She was also a quilter.
In June, I went to Michigan for her
memorial service.
While I was there, her husband
asked me to go through her stash
and take whatever I wanted.
She didn't have a huge stash,
but had some beautiful fabrics.
One of the things she had was
blocks made from fabrics they had
bought on a trip to France.
I don't know what she had intended
with these blocks,
but I was able to sew them together into
this little quilt.

This little quilt is 33x40ish" and will go to my daughter.
She can use it as a table topper or a small wall hanging.
This piece that I used for the backing also came from France.
I was glad I was able to use most of it for the backing and binding.
In addition to finishing this little quilt,
I quilted and finished Orange Crush.
I posted earlier that these blocks were left-over from another quilt.
I had planned on one layout for the original quilt,
but changed my mind and ended up with 9 extra blocks.
While quilting this one, I practiced some ruler work.
Since the quilt was small, it wasn't too cumbersome
to move under the needle.
This little quilt has already been donated.
Happy Quilting!
