Sweet Dreams


I made a quilt for Tai Wah's first grandchild, Sebastian Corral Chan. In order to get the quilt done quickly, I used 2 packages of charm squares from Missouri Star Quilt Company, called Lakeside Gatherings. To make the quilt a little special, I used a soft gray minky fabric on the back. The minky worked very well. I will use it again.



This was almost a 3-day quilt. It was pieced on Tuesday, June 23; quilted on Wednesday, June 24; and binding was almost finished on Thursday, June 25!

Lin, Sebastian's mother, sent us a very nice thank-you note.
