Our friend Laura had to move out of state.
So my friends Donna, Sheryl and Melissa and I got together and made blocks
to make Laura a quilt.
The blocks were the "Wonky Log Cabin."
Turns out 2 of the group enjoy this impromtu no measuring technique,
and 2 wanted specific measurements.
I was fortunate to piece the blocks together to make the top
and add the borders.
Then I passed the top onto Sheryl and her daughter, Melissa
who quilted it on the long arm.
Sheryl came up with the name for the quilt.
The backing was actually from the stash of fabrics Laura had given to me.
The border was from Sheryl and Melissa's Stash and they hand binded the quilt.
Yours truly made the label.
Sheryl had several leftover piano keys already made for me to put together for the second border..
We do pat ourselves on the back for being a great team that can suddenly put a quilt together.
This quilt went together in about 2 weeks.
We'll miss having Laura around here.
