It is our tradition that if a long-standing member leaves the club, each member makes her a block that she can incorporate into a quilt to remember us by. Michele had just bought herself an X-Block ruler, so we all made 9-patches in brown and cream to match a common square of brown fabric.
After 4 years and many reinventions, this is Michele's finished quilt. It was supposed to be for a single bed, but it has grown a little and now reaches the floor. Of course, when new blocks needed to be made, despite much searching, phoning and internet enquiries, the original brown centre fabric could not be sourced. Necessity is the mother of invention they say and the finished design is quite stunning. It was worth waiting for Michele.
