I know I mentioned to you previously that I was working on a mini quilt inspired by my visit to see the Amish quilt exhibit at the DeYoung Museum. I finally finished it!
The pattern for this came out of a little book of Amish mini quilts by Gwen Marston called Twenty Little Amish Quilts.
It’s machine pieced and hand quilted and measures a mere 15 3/4″ x 16 1/2″. I had a terrible time getting the green color of the background right in these photos!
In other news, I turned 39 today! (Which I find completely outrageous, by the way!)
