After doing quilts for everybody but myself, I thought I would do one that was just for me for use while sitting in my chair. My colors and my favorite 9 patch pattern. Clean, Simple and Traditional. I used the wool batting that I got a large 20 yd roll of, and it has lived up to all the hype. It is Harriet Hargrave bonded wool batting, and it makes a lovely loft to the 2" quilting of this design. It appears to be warm and yet it is quite light when in place covering me. It is rather expensive per sq. ft. but for those quilts that are important, (and what could be more important that a quilt for yourself?), I will recommend it without question, other than the price. But like the cosmetic commercial says, "Well your worth it". The light blue of the patch is a baby blue mottled blender, and the medium blue is a mottled blender. the sashing is a dark blue on blue floral pattern, and the binding is the light blue blender used in the patch. I guess it was a case of the cobblers shoes. Everybody except the cobbler has nice shoes. This old saw is now no longer the case. Now my wife has seen it and has requested one for herself in her favorite colors pink, pale pink and dusty rose. So we will head off to the quilt store and pick out her fabric and get started on her quilt. Hope you like it.
