Another Quilt is Now Finished!

This is a quilt with a story. A local man embroiders for his mental health. It began when he was little more than a teenager and was involved in a serious automobile accident. Six years ago he and his mother decided to turn one of the many sets of embroidered blocks into a quilt. The fabric was purchased, a rough plan drawn on a slip of paper and the cutting out began. A week after this tentative start the mans mother suddenly, unexpectedly passed away. The quilt blocks and pile of fabric sat in a closet, taking up space. Earlier this spring the man stopped at the local fabric shop and asked....would someone be willing to make this quilt? As thanks they could have all of the other embroidered squares (enough for 5 more quilts). The owner of the quilt/fabric shop thought of me and asked my thoughts. Now a few months later, I adjusted the original plan enough to make it “mine” and this is the result.
