OMG my daughter wants an art quilt
#1
My daughter has been asking me to make her a quilt for years. I finally finished my current project and asked her to pick out a pattern, thinking of compasses and block patterns, but n-o-o-o she picks out a tree of life and another one with sugar skulls which we are going to combine. The skulls will hang off the tree like lanterns and lots of big pinwheel flowers will be floating around the roots and part of the edge. I have done lots of applique wall hangings and small baby quilts but never anything this HUGE. It will take about 50 years to put together and another 50 to quilt. Fun though.
