Here is a quilt that I powered through in the last week. It is for friends that have had a tough time. They need some love. And since I am too far away to go into a mad cooking frenzy (like I usually would) I hurled myself into a quilt project for them. It is truly a scrap quilt, all the trees are made out of bits and pieces left over from Grandpa N's quilt and assorted other green things I have made. I have made an astonishing array of green things it seems.
The top photo (I don't know why it is sideways, blogger issues) is of the back, Captain Obvious, which I decided to semi-piece for added loveliness. This was inspired by the gorgeous work of Red Pepper Quilts. She makes the greatest quilts and all of them have been given extra spice on the back, not to mention some really beautiful long arm quilting. As a novice quilter I am in deep awe of her mad skills.
