Kaleidoscope of Colour in April's Quilt


Our friend April, owner of Anointment Natural Skin Care, had a problem that we were only too pleased to help her with. She started working on a quilt for herself a while back, but the myriad demands of a full life sidetracked her project. Wanting very much to finish the quilt, but knowing that with a third child on the way it might be years before she got it done, she decided to let Becky put it together for her.



Becky finished piecing the quilt top, layered it over organic batting and sumptuous organic flannel, then machine quilted it with variegated thread.



April chose fabric from Anna Maria Horner's Good Folks collection for the bulk of the quilt and a mermaid print from Heather Ross for the border. The effect is spectacular!
On her blog, April writes that she's going to bring the quilt with her to the hospital to keep her cozy during labour. We're so delighted that we could help her bring this fabulous quilt to life as she prepares for the far more important task of bringing a new life into the world.
