I'm fortunate that other people in my life have been busy getting some quilting/crafting projects done, so I have something to share on my neglected blog. Today, I wanted to share my mom's latest completed work. She made the quilt for her cousin, Shirley, who was so instrumental in helping us make the transition from Nevada to Kansas last fall.
Shirley's favorite color is purple (a woman after my own heart), and Shirley's husband's favorite color is copper. Yep, copper. The man's an artist, so naturally his favorite color would not be anything generic. The same day my mom and I nonchalantly extracted that information from them under another guise, we ran across the floral fabric you see in the border. Decided the burnt orange shade in the floral was as close to copper as we were ever likely to get, and the floral became the focus fabric the quilt was built around.
