heading to the post office.

I am so happy to share with you a special, finished quilt top.   I have absolutely loved piecing this swoon quilt top for my dear friend, Kathy.  I started the process last April with a generous amount of time for completion.  
 
Between tutorials and sewing for 2 quilt markets (last spring and this fall), as well as two magazine quilts, I was able to carve out happy moments of piecing the blocks.
One of my favorite blocks is this orange and navy blue one.  The orange is just delicious and the navy contrast makes my heart sing!   
Thank you Kathy for such a fun chance to sew with your special fabrics and for your confidence in my ability.  Your dear quilt is on it's way home!  Yay!!


made with love
xoxo
