GRACE’S GARDEN
My sister lives in Vermont in a log cabin house, and cultivates a large family vegetable garden. So a Log Cabin pattern with over forty fruit and vegetable patterned fabrics was just the ticket. Laying out all the 2-1/2″ strips, and methodically assembling them into blocs, while attempting to keep a good color balance was a challenge. Using a small blueberry print as the sashing and border helped unify the whole. Using red peppers and yellow lemons for the center “hearths” of each block established the hearts of the log cabin blocks.
I backed it with a simple cream print since there is no resting place for the eyes on the front. It was long-arm quilted by Teri Scaduto of “By the Sea Custom Quilting” as I am not able to do a good job of quilting a queen-sized quilt on my home machine.
With leftover fabric I made a table runner and six placemats. Then the final remnants were given to my quilt guild and a woman made aprons out of them a NYC soup kitchen!
Additional fabric became table runner and six reversible placemats.

I might be interested in having a quilt made for my sister-in-law, similar to Grace’s Garden but with flowers instead of veggies. How much do you charge for a queen-size quilt or a throw?
