Mom's Quilt

I just wanted to share a quilt that I have finished. I made it for my mother. She really likes Sun Bonnet Sue so I decided that the perfect gift would be a quilt with Sun Bonnet Sue on it. I made it out of yellows and oranges and then had it quilted by a lady in Boise. On the back is a vintage sheet that found at a thrift store in my mother's home town. I hope you enjoy it as much as my mother and I do.



This is my favorite Sun Bonnet Sue! I choose to make all the characters have different skin tones. My mom really like that!



 This is a picture of the binding. I decided to use a decorative stitch.





This is what the back of the quilt looks like

Things You Should Know About: Quilters Cache

This is a totally awesome site. Where else could you get so many patterns for free and quilting patterns at that.



I actually found Quilter's Cache by accident. I had some left-over printing at school and I decided to use it to print off some patterns that I had been wanting to get. Well, I had more than I needed so I decided to browse for some quilting patters and I landed at this site. I'm glad I did and I'm pretty sure you are too!

This site is great for any quilter at any experience and offers tons of free patterns for quilting. Check it out!
