25th
Anniversary quilt
by Shelley Knapp
In celebration of our 25th Anniversary
my husband purposed that I make a quilt that we could both enjoy as we
remembered our anniversary. On the day of our anniversary we drove to Eureka,
CA
and spent the night. We went to every quilt shop we could find on the way
down. The plan was to buy only fat quarters to make this quilt out of.
Randy was to buy the bright and I was to buy the light. We agreed on Sharyn
Craig’s log cabin plus block for the setting. Therefore we needed a solid
color for the triangles. We both picked our favorite colors – Randy’s red,
mine purple. Then Randy found the butterfly fabric and asked if we could
some how work it in. That became the border and his base for picking the
bright. When setting the blocks, I used the traditional barn raising setting
but added in the 4 outer corners to represent our family, Randy and myself
and our two sons, Zach and Joe.
It became very emotional for me to quilt it. The feathers and
floral was something new I had just got comfortable with and felt it was
perfect for this quilt along with the variegated threads I choose. In the
lower right hand corner I personalized the quilt with the quilting. This
gives it a special touch, as it will be a treasured heirloom for our family.
