One of the biggest compliments that I got for the CW quilt was that our friend Christina would always be wrapped in it when she came over to our place.   I mean you couldn't separate this quilt from the girl.   So it was decided that 'Stina needed a quilt of her own.   The challenge was going to be to have it match her style and personality.   Matty helped me with this and I started the 'Stina quilt, or BCW as we call it around the house.

As I've worked on each sewing project, I try new techniques and attempt new challenges.   It's the only way to learn and grow.   That's what I did with this quilt. I sewed smaller pieces of fabric for the borders and didn't follow any pattern, taking suggestions from the many quilt books that I've found myself with.   (Yes, I'm a little ashamed.)

As the quilt started to come together, I realized that some of the fabrics and quilt blocks had their own story to tell.   This quilt was truly amazing.   The final piece was the backing.   The huge, fleece terror-fighting backing.   This piece really made the quilt for Stina, and just in time for the war.

While working on these quilts, I've come up with over a dozen ideas and plans for many, many more curiously warm quilts.   Many for friends and family members, fitting their personalities and styles.   I just hope that I'm able to work on these and get them to those that I care about. 'Sew', keeping reading on and see if I can make my goals and if you find yourself snuggled under a desirably warm quilt.
