This quilt predates the blog! I remember making the top while Eve was learning to read. I had the wonderful alphabet fabric I used for the border to honor her reading efforts.
I took little tucks here and there so the border grid would work with the center.
The center I think was from a magazine, long lost to my memory.
The top was made over 20 years ago, it was quilted shortly after that, then languished until Covid time when a binding was finally put on.
With Eve's blessing, it is on its way as a gift from Tante Lynn to my great-niece Meta whose reading efforts are impressive.
It seems to me that Alphabet Stars was waiting for Meta! Great gift!
ReplyDeleteWas this your oldest UFO? Like a fine wine, some projects just need to age before they're ready to be used.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely quilt, the perfect gift for the next generation in the family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty and a nice way to honor a reader:).
ReplyDeleteOh glory beee, I had that alphabet fabric . . . long since all cut up and used. It must have been at least 25 years ago. Wow, memories. Thanks for sharing.
