My niece turned 18 this year, a fantastic milestone. Quite a few years back, as part of my first steps into quilting, I made her and her brothers a quilt each, all single bed sized.  I am sure she wasn’t all that impressed with it, having said to her mother, “well … its very PINK”. Having reached this important stage, she has upgraded to a big bed, so I thought it was time to replace her quilt.
This quilt came about as a result of a sew along. It started in January, with the summer solstice, with a block every week, until the winter solstice.
Each block is different, and I included just a smidge of red in a few of the blocks.
The centre block was supposed to be a very old fashioned grandma’s basket, but I replaced it with a multi layered heart, much more suited to a teen girl’s tastes.
(BTW – the quilt is square, so I didn’t put the heart in sideways 😛 )
