My mother and I made this quilt together. Though she lives over 1500 miles away, I love to collaborate on quilts with her. Last year, she pieced a red, white, and blue top with this same pattern for one of her cousins. I liked it so much that I asked her to piece another one just for me! She picked out fabrics that she purchased through her guild's annual fundraiser. She also added a custom border to Evelyn Sloppy's design.
I had two other quilts entered into the show. A self portrait and a beautiful quilt that my neighbor, Jan, designed and pieced.
