Grandmother's Fan


This is not a new quilt, but when I was just putting it on the bed in the guest room after washing it, I remembered I had never taken a picture of it before. So, now you get to see it too. I love what my machine quilter did with it. AND I had enough fabric left to make a piano key bed skirt with the leftovers. That was my daughter's suggestion. It really completes the room.

Pretty and I do love the quilting. My first quilt I made was a Grandmother's Fan, hand quilted, for my 7 year old daughter! She took very good care of it.
