When I received Christine's lovely little quilt and opened her beautifully presented package I just smiled and kept on smiling. Her sneak peek had given away that it was a red and white quilt! The first photo is Christine's quilt. The hand quilting is so precise and even. I loved the way she incorporated the words dolls quilt 2011. But why was I smiling?
I walked into my dining room and as you can see I have made a nine by nine patch quilt, in my favorite red and white combination. This quilt is called "Rebel 9x9" I made it for our quilt group's annual Christmas challenge for 2009. That particular challenge was very specific in what we had to do. I opted to stay within the 9 inch block size and the 20 block stipulation, and that's about all I could stick with. This quilt was also my first attempt at machine quilting feathers. Sorry no close ups!
I think you know where I am going to hang Christine's beauty! Thank you Christine for your lovely quilt and making me smile every time I walk into the dining room. My little Lori smith design quilt is going to have to find another place to reside!
