Sister's Choice Quilts

My interests are quilting, reading, cooking, family, decorating, and matters of style. I post regular quilting tutorials and book reviews of current fiction.

Look What Mary Did!

This happy lady pictured above is Mary Wood from Australia.  Some of you may remember that she won my leftover blocks from the Return to Sender quilt I made awhile ago.  A few people have emailed me to ask what Mary ever did with those blocks, and I am happy to share the finished project with you.  It seems that Mary put them blocks together with a simple solid lattice and has created a nice lap quilt.

Well done Mary!  It is so great to see your work and what you did with those orphan blocks!  Not orphans any longer, but a real quilt that will be enjoyed for a long time.

Something else interesting about Mary:  she has over 30 grandchildren and got married to a lovely man named Peter in December.  So you might ask yourself, how does she have any time for quilting????
