Knots & Tangles:
Everything went smoothly on this until I got to the border. I hadn’t learned how to make a good corner and it shows on this quilt.
Inspired by:
This was a response to a quilt store “challenge” – represent summer with a few fabrics from the store and in a specific size. The colors and eyelet trim reminded me of childhood summer clothes. At the beach, I was always fascinated by the low-flying planes towing advertisement signs, and fireworks notifications were the most exciting.
