Like most of the quilts here I started this one many years ago, about the time my oldest left for college. The quilt top languished in a drawer for a decade. Last summer (2019) I painted the pink and tan bedroom upstairs and needed a new and fresh bed cover to match the cool grey and white decor.
Once again much of the material came from the boxes and suitcases of squares gifted to my oldest daughter so many years ago. If only I could recall the name of the lady who was so generous; as a quilter I imagine she would be delighted to see how her gift has expanded and takes pride of place in so many ways.
A simple dark blue border holds the twirling windmills in the frame. I backed the quilt with the tan material and pulled it from the back for the binding. This quilt is simply tied with blue thread.
There aren't a lot of windmills here on the prairie, but the playful light and dark, blues, greens and spots of yellow in the quilt remind me of this place, this prairie I call home.
