I was inspired by a dear friend to make this quilt. She lost her dad a year ago. The squares are from his old shirts. The buttons from the shirts were saved to make a bracelet.

One of 3 quilts. Same Pattern - Mother/Daughter matching but each focused on their hobby/interests.

Two of three mother/daughter quilts - same pattern. Focus on sports that she was in during high school.

3 of 3 using the same pattern. Mom's quilt - she asked me to make 3 quilts with the same pattern - but each one was focused on the individual hobby or interest. This is mother's quilt.

I have always wanted to do a log cabin, use red in a quilt, and make something to decorate my home with. I was able to do that with this tree skirt. I have not quilted it yet but I was just too happy with the top. I am trying to decide it I should dlip the colors for the back and do a white star or just a red backer.

I love going to new stores. I purchased this pattern and material in Detroit Lakes, MN. Since this was a small project I tried pinning. I learned with free motion quilting no matter the size of project spraying works better.
