I'm excited--there is a quilt show that you can see no matter where you are! Amy's Creative Side is hosting the event. If you have a quilt you want to share, please post it before May 20. 2011.
This quilt was made about five years ago for my youngest son. I thought I had enough fabric at the time in my fabric stash to make this quilt and to my disbelief I was short just a few blocks.
So what do you do when you get yourself into trouble? Ask mom! I took my blocks and showed her my problem. Her solution was so simple. She machine embroidered the blocks that I needed. She even matched the colors in the print of the fabric.
I even ended up with a few extra blocks that I added to the backing making a reversible more retro type quilt.
Hope you are enjoying the Quilt Festival!
Thank you Amy for the

Great Collaboration, Kay!
A job well done! Thanks for sharing, :)
That sounds like it was the perfect solution. Aren't moms full of knowledge????
The extra blocks simply add interest to the quilt. Very nice!
Mom sure came through with a great idea! It really adds something special to the quilt. I bet your son loves his quilt. I know the outdoorsmen in my family sure would.
I absolutely love the fact that your mom bailed you out. A very special quilt!
I love seeing how people solve their problems in quilt. Yours was a great solution. Your quilt has worked really well.
Beautiful quilt and yea mom! :)
Love your quilt. Hubby and son would like it too. How clever to have your mom embroider the extra pieces. Great solution. Thanks for sharing and have a great day
