True Blue

I chose this pattern because the title of it embodies my husband; unwavering loyalty to his family and country. It was a birthday gift for him. Since I wanted it to be a surprise, pieced it while he was at work and I set weekly and monthly goals for myself. I worked on it as soon has he left for work in the morning and put it all back in the box before he came home for lunch. After lunch, I repeated the process, working on it until it was time for him to come home after his work day ended. The pattern is by Carrie L. Nelson in her book titled Miss Rosie's Spice of Life Quilts. The placement of light and dark fabrics give the appearance of movement in the quilt.
