Mother decided to make this quilt to use up some of her stash after seeing a picture of it in a Fon's and Porter Easy Quilts magazine. In fact, she made two quilts with this pattern, one I called "rusty" (this one) and the other "brown" for the contrasting fabrics that make the little squares. I quilted this quilt after taking an Internet class on long arming, so I paid close attention to the placement of the batting (dimple side up and pimple side down), tension, needle size and all those things I learned in the class.
