All three of us in the circle, Cheryl, Alice and myself, chose the fabrics... Alice made the suggestion of the pattern this year. We like to have something with good visual impact, since the quilt is seen from a distance when it is shown on stage, and of course, the reference in this traditional pattern to "mountains" also made it a fitting choice.
Alice did all of the fabric prep and cutting and she and I pieced the top at our spring retreat at Lake Logan. Then Cheryl worked her quilting magic! Finally, we all met at Alice's and did the hand sewing on the binding.
So here is the 2014 Shindig quilt:
It measures 72 inches x 72 inches.
And here is the circle, finishing the quilt:
And finally, a close up that shows some of that exquisite quilting:
Someone is going to invest $2 in a raffle ticket this summer and take home this lovely quilt!
