The Blessings Quilt - Update



I have just received this block image from Anne Reimer of Winnipeg. It is the first completely prepped block for The Blessings Quilt. This quilt is going to be absolutely beautiful when completed.

Anne says the wreath and dots are all Jo Morton fabrics - I recognize every one of them! Anne did buy all her Jo Morton fabrics from Three Ducks! The background is a Jo Morton Seneca Shirting; the centre star is made from Bonnie Blue fabrics; and, the leaves were pulled from Anne's fabric stash.

The quilt will be a combined effort as the block will now be going to Anne's 89 year-old mother who according to Anne does impeccable hand appliqué. This quilt will truly be treasured when finished. I have asked Anne if she would send an update every now and then when she has time. It will be fun to watch the quilt's progress.
