Kathleen's wallhanging

After making a larger one for myself inspired by this book, my grandma was interested in having a small one made for her house. She gave me some pretty specific dimensions, and the colors she was hoping to highlight, and away I went. I enjoyed making something special for her that I knew she would like to hang in her beautiful home.

This was machine pieced (high precision work because of the narrow "leading" pieces - cut at 3/4" wide and seamed precisely to 1/4" finished size.) I used a thin fusible polyester batting because I was still not very skilled at basting with pins. Machine quilting was done around the inside of each white piece, and sometimes a second row in some of the larger elements.
