Have you ever submitted a photo to a magazine after you made a quilt that was featured in their magazine? Well, I have a few times now.
Fons & Porter’s Love Of Quilting had this quilt in their May/June 2000 magazine.

I loved it …. but the layout was tweaked by me …. which is usual. I hardly ever make a quilt exactly as shown. I look at a pattern and see something entirely different and usually go my way.
So, the quilt was made; a photo submitted to their Show and Tell department. All was forgotten until one day a few years later ….. an envelope arrived with a letter and a magazine. What a thrill for me!

Yes, that is me showing off my quilt. How very kind they were to select my photo and letter to publish.
So, there, my claim to fame! Neat, eh! :o)
Originally, my plan was to make a queen size quilt and I made enough blocks for that size. Instead, my flower blocks were made into a twin-size quilt; thus resulting in leftovers. My previous post shows what was made with those extra blocks. Now, I never throw anything away. You just never know when something will come in handy.
Have a great day!
