This quilt was made for my friend Roby. It is hand appliqued and then machine pieced and quilted. While it looks small in the picture, it is actually a queen size quilt!Marys Jewel Quilt. This was a first attempt by Mary - job well done! Love the colour co-ordinations. Quilted in the ditch and 1/4" all around each square.This quilt was made by Margaret who had been on a trip to New Zealand and had purchased some lovely pieces of fabric that are very well blended together in a fab quilt! The pattern is custom - to try to emulate the New Zealand Silver Fern and blend the whole lot together.Back of the quilt.
