Pinal Peaks

QC by Rowan
This is another quilt made from Mother’s strip scraps. Mother and I started it and, thankfully, Frances visited and finished piecing it. This quilt is similar to one Mother made in 2016, named “Spice”. See this blog for September, 2016. The name comes from the similarity of the blocks to “peaks” and from the Pinal Mountains, which were near to Superior, Arizona where we lived for many years. Also, “Pinal Peaks” is alliterative. On Aug, 19, 2019 given to Zebiba Ahmed who was Mother’s best caregiver after she broke her arm and neck.
