Two summers ago before I moved back to Ohio I came home for the summer. I spent one week at Lynda&#39;s shop and made this quilt on one of the spare commercial machines. Edye was just fascinated as the quilt went together. I got this pattern from&nbsp;the Reap What You Sew&nbsp;group in Phoenix. &nbsp;It is made from scrappy strips of fabric sewn together (I already had this step done before I came to Ohio.), which are then cut into triangles. The white fabric is bleached muslin, but you can use anything. I just happened to have a lot of muslin on hand. I used a paw print for the border and backing because Edye loves animals and has a couple cats. The corner blocks are black and has the word meow in various colors.&nbsp;The quilt is machine quilted stitch in the ditch. Eyde was in awe by the time the quilt was completed. Lynda embroidered a label for me on one of her commercial embroidery machines after Edye went home. The next day at lunch time I presented the quilt to Edye. It was my way of saying thank you for running Lynda&#39;s shop while she came out to Arizona for 2 weeks after&nbsp;I got out of rehab&nbsp;to take care of me. Edye was so overwhelmed that she just cried, because she had no idea that the quilt was for her.&nbsp;By the way, she loves the quilt.</p> <p>Notice: You end up with pinwheel and square in a square blocks.</p>http://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/media/p/276700.aspxTue, 01 Nov 2011 10:38:47 GMT722ae0af-0843-4f69-80d5-ea157d187469:276700Linda3<p>My best friend, Lynda loves roosters! You wouldn&#39;t be able to guess if you were to walk into her house!! So I just had to add to the collection on her birthday 2 years ago. The squares are a square within a square. The center square is a fussy cut to make sure that a rooster was in the coop! Each square is quilted in the ditch. The outer border is quilted randomly...the roosters got loose in the border!! My mind isn&#39;t all there sometimes. Anyway, that&#39;s the story and I&#39;m sticking to it. For Christmas that year, Lynda received the Faithy doll. She is pictured in the gallery with 2 other dolls. The quilt and Faithy doll now reside on a rocker in Lynda&#39;s family room.</p>
