"Sister's Choice", Two Years in the Making
Ok, here it is, with the binding on and fresh out of the dryer. This Sister's Choice pattern was made from a free pattern on Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville blog, I made it for my log cabin in the Yukon. The inspiration for the pebble and bubble quilting came from Tagish Lake, with it's rocky shores and rolling waves. I had the "bright" idea of filling in between the pebble shapes with solid stitching- never again! I went through a 2000 yard cone of King Tut quilting thread, then had to order more in order to finish the stitching and thought I was never going to get it finished. This summer, I'll be able to take it to the cabin when I go on summer vacation.
