A Quilt For Nathan

Our guild is having a UFO completion challenge this year. This one can be crossed off my list. I made these blocks a year ago for a "Beth Dutton" quilt. Many people were jumping on the bandwagon and making a quilt that was in the Yellowstone TV series. I never watched the show, but I saw pictures of the quilt. So of course, I had to be a copycat and join in. Monkey see, monkey do. I'm going to give this quilt to Nathan, a friend of Geo's son. Nathan came from a Hutterite colony in Manitoba. He said he regretted not being given a quilt when he left. Now he will get a quilt. It won't be from his relatives, but it'll have to do. I hope he likes it. I found some large pieces of black batting from twenty years ago in my closet. it has to be the nicest and fluffiest batting ever. I pieced it together to use in this quilt. It's too bad they don't make batting like that anymore. It's quilted with Baptist Fans in a light grey to black variegated thread. The quilt is in the washing machine right now because I spilled pickle juice on it- groan! If anything is going to get spilled, it'll be me that does it. After the laundering, I'll attach a label.

At our fall retreat, I won a door prize that was kindly provided by Lorena. It was a basket of sewing notions and goodies, including a charm...
