Tangerine


Mother had a couple pieces of fabric in her inventory that were crying out to be used and she had a desire to make another quilt like Leo's. We played around with several names for this quilt, but "Tangerine" is the only one that stuck, named for the colors in the fabric. Mother wanted to have this one ready to bind during Aunt Linda's visit. I quilted it in time for her to do the hand work while she visited. See "Leo's Quilt" for information about the pattern. This quilt was given to Cynthia for her Mother.
