Dynamic Duo

This is the second quilt Frances finished during her visit. This quilt is similar to one Mother made in 2016, named “Spice”. See this blog for September, 2016. It is named for the Dynamic Duo who made it, Frances and Mother. The differences between this quilt and “Pinal Peaks”, the first quilt Frances finished are it is one block longer and the set in triangles that finish the sides are dark red and not brown. On Aug, 19, 2019 given to Zebiba Ahmed who was Mother’s best caregiver after she broke her arm and neck.
