a brief departure to enter the quilt blog world
Okay, so excuse the brief departure from my usual training/fundraising blogging....but since this is the only blog I have, I wanted to join Park City Girls Quilt Festival - Spring 2009 and share a quilt that I made a few years ago. It now belongs to the lovely Miranda Kennedy and family, but it was an unexpected design that I love. I had purchased some Aunt Grace fabrics on a trip to Denver that I had no idea what I was going to do with. A bit later I took a class at the City Quilter in NYC which used a quilt as you go pattern. I was in love! Here is the end result:
