Sixty Tulips was made for my parents' sixtieth wedding anniversary this summer. The quilt was made from batik scraps for the tulips and a few longer lengths for the background, sashing, and setting pieces. Beautifully quilted by Sue DiVarco.

fall blogger quilt festival: sixty tulips
Amy's Creative Side is hosting her blogger fall quilt festival and I encourage you to visit others in her post.

Our gathering and celebration memories of this summer are especially precious as my father died in a farming accident six weeks later.

Hi Lynn,
I am a Dutch quilter and found your blog Klein Meisje through a third party. It is great to read about an American with a Dutch background and to see your quilts!
Amazing quilt and I am so touched by the fact that you had the opportunity to deliver before your father;s accidental death.
This is a beautiful quilt! Tulips are my favorite flower, and they are lovely here! I love how you made 60 to honor the 60th anniversary. So sorry to hear of your dad's passing.
