Theme (dramatic music playing in the background)

The printed fabrics were chosen based on the colors of the solids used in the front of the quilt (red, gray, blue).

Aurifil thread (2024) white, 100% Mako cotton was used in the bobbin for the entire back.

A HUGE Thank you to Jacquie Gering for coming to teach at our Guild and for having the generosity of talent and spirit to let me finish one of her quilt tops. I don't know what will happen to this quilt once it gets back to her. (It's going to be hard, sending it away, but…….) this one act of trust and kindness has had such a profound impact on me as a quilter and a person. I only hope that one day, I can, in some small way, repay this kindness. It is a gift to be treasured, to be honored and to be passed on.
