Sister’s Choice-Scrappy and Bright

Available in one size – Comfort Quilt – 69″ by 69″

This quilt was designed with the help of my blog visitors.   You chose the blocks and the borders through participating in polls.   I like the results.

Since I could barely think up one name I decided to just name it the one name.   Quilt names are not my strength.

I gave this quilt to a good friend.
