Mosaic Columns

I

Kaffe Fassett's Mosaic Columns quilt.
It's finished, and it's ginormous!

The long arm quilting is by my friend, Karen Walker.
One of these days I'm going to get her to start a blog.



I usually wash them before photographing -- for that delightful crinkly look and feel, but
I'm not sure this monster will fit in my washing machine.

But it's done!
Huge sigh of relief!
Whoops --  I have at least 4 quilt backs to get ready for Karen, so off I go....

With wishes, true and kind -- Joan

    That quilt is just beautiful.....right now
    I am trying to make a value quilt like yours.
    I loved that quilt of yours and so did my sister.
    A couple more changes of blocks and
    and colors and I am going to call it done.
    If it looks half as good as yours I'll
    be happy.
