I made this quilt with blocks made at the �Saturday Sampler� at Fabric Place. I used the �lap quilting� technique which made it easy to manage with my sewing machine. Thanks to the Tuesday Night Quilters for their ideas and support as I worked on this project.

Large Quilt 64 x 80

This was started at a Benefit night in the dim, forgotten past. I love paisleys and Stack 'n Whack, but there really isn't enough contrast in this paisley to work well. But I finally got it done.

I took a class with Susan Raban to familiarize myself with my new machine and learn more about machine quilting. Quilting these intricate patterns seemed tedious at first. As I understood it, the process seemed miraculous. I love this pattern because it reminds me of whole cloth quilts.

An old friend gave me all her families' Marimekko dresses, shirts, ties, curtains, table cloths, pillow cases, etc., that she had saved from the 1960's-70's to make into a quilt. After digging deep into my soul, I happily created a quilt that reflects the spirit of the sixties.
