This year I was really ambitious, and decided to make a quilt for my mom. Of course I didn't stop there, I hand dyed all the fabric because I didn't like any of the solids I could get, and I could buy a huge piece of kona cotton for cheap. And I made it in 2 1/2 weeks. It's the second quilt I've ever made, but it was hard because I couldn't call and ask my mom questions! Mal was on the phone with me a lot to unpick quilting when I had a big pucker, and all the details that I'm obsessive about.I love how puckery it turned out, and the dyed fabrics had a subtle soft quality to them that make it already look worn in. My mom was very surprised, it was fun to give it to her!
