Hugs & Kisses for Nita


The fabric which drew me into quilting was a Kate Spain design, called Verna.  I had collected various precuts and yardage, and decided to use some of it up.


This quilt is for my beautiful friend Nita.  She is fighting a huge battle, and will need lots of love and support.  The first surgery is done ... now onto the next phase of treatments.




The pattern is one I found at the Moda Bakeshop Here.  I did have to cut a couple of extra 10” squares to make an extra row, to make the circles symmetrical.




The backing is a yellow minkee I managed to score at a store which I usually do not shop at.  I am pleased with how it has quilted up.  Minimal quilting, around the diamonds, lets this quilt wrap you up snug and cozy.




The binding is a contrasting aqua stripes and dots I had in my stash.  I love it, and know that it will wrap her and keep her warm with all our love.








Get well, Nita OXOXO

  2. Now I can see why you were drawn to this line (which I have never seen before) but it is so lovely of you to make this for your friend and back it with warm minky.
