Briana's quilt

We are still struggling along with dial-up internet back in SC. I'll take advantage of the speed of the library's wi-fi while we are in Florida to post a couple of pictures. Most of the quilts I've pictured so far have been quilts made for grandchildren. My most ambitious quilt so far was made for my teen-aged granddaughter. I started with a Bali kit for a lap quilt, but quickly decided that it was too small to be usable. So, I shopped for batiks to expand the quilt top. I found a really neat light blue extra-wide batik to use for the backing. One of the batiks on the quilt top had a dragon-fly design. I decided to use scraps to applique dragon-flys on the back. When it came time to quilt, I quilted from the back by outlining the dragon-flies and doing a watery meandering on the rest of the quilt. My granddaughter loved the effect!
