Hi, this blog has been upgraded, but I'm leaving the old pages online until the search engines catch up. If you want to join the discussion, this may be the page you're looking for on the new site.
CW. The legacy begins.
While cuddling in this quilt, a curiously warm feeling was noted. (Which is a good thing.) This thermal coziness became a desired quality and more quilts were requested. See the John Deere quilt - aka CW - that started the revolution!
As stated previously, the first quilt that started the phenomena is CW (Curiously Warm), the John Deere quilt. It was my first attempt at a quilt or anything this large. The pattern is from a Quilt-in-a-Day booklette of rail quilts for kids. (Yeah, I have no shame.) I struggled while working on it; some terminology was new to me and the whole experience was a bit scary. But the quilt turned out wonderful.
-pix of CW-One thing that makes me very happy about this quilt, besides my success and it's warmth, is that I used mostly leftover fabrics, remnants and scraps bought long ago. (This fete will never again be accomplished because now I love fabric shopping!) The only items purchased were the book, the batting, a curved needle and embroidery floss (to tie the corners). Amazing, no?
