My friend Kellaura’s mom is pretty much famous in the modern quilting world. A pattern for one of her mini-quilts appeared in the book Whip Up Mini Quilts a few years ago, and I finally got around to my goal of making the quilt.
I actually followed most of the pattern, excluding appliqueing leaves across the top, mainly because I forgot to cut them out and at that point I was too far past the cutting to feel like going back. Hand quilting a leaf pattern was so satisfying and relaxing that I’m using the same design on another quilt I’m working on.
When I look at that quilt, it reminds me about the beauty of nature and how much I love to watch birds outside our window.
Although I do love watching birds out a window, that was a blatant lie. All I can think about when I look at that quilt is Panther High Football and Tim Riggins and The Smash. 97% of that quilt was made while watching Friday Night Lights Season 1.
