Melody's Quilt

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I so very PROUDLY announce... my wonderful mother-in-law, Melody, has completed her very first quilt!


She chose to use various black and white prints to create her own take on a 9-patch block quilt.  She matched light and dark values in each red-centered 9-patch, then used thin red sashing to perfectly balance the composition.  It's hand tied with little red knots at all of the intersections.  The backing is a solid black with little chicken-feet peace signs printed all over.

I think it turned out just marvelously.

She's planning on using the leftover pieces to make some matching pillows, and already has another quilt in the design process.

I can't wait to see what you make next, Melody!
