Another quilt, and another Christmas present off the list!
I used the Moda Love pattern for the centre. It’s a great pattern that you can make with a Layer Cake, Charm Pack, or Mini Charm Pack. This one was made with a charm pack, then rounded out with a few boorders to bring it up to about 50″ square. It’s a perfect little lap quilt.
As usually, I let Mom make the decisions on the quilt, and she went wild with this one.. there are flowers, and swirls and circles and piano keys… a little of everything!
I got lucky, and there was enough of the black floral backing leftover from the Superstar quilt for this one. There was also enough leftover of one of the border fabrics to use as binding.
I’m really pleased how this one turned out, and a little sad that I’m not keeping it. But it’s okay, it was a fun pattern, and I’m sure I’ll do it again!
Just beautiful! Wandering Cat Quilt Shop is opening soon?! (No, enjoy making them the way you are doing now–really!)

I am really curious about how your mom does the quilting part; is all of that free-hand, or is there a program in the sewing machine?

Wow, it’s gorgeous! I love that pattern too, but have only done it in pillow size. Must think on it as a larger piece. Great job all around.
