Provence and Orange Kiss

 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!
