Quilting with Darla's Designs

This is my latest quilt. I used fabrics designed by my sister, Darla. The colors are a red-orange, lime green (chartreuse), black, white, and a touch of yellow. To me, the fabric brought thoughts of Mexican pottery, so I went with a festive theme with lots of border design. I appliqued the corner decorations. It is about 60" square - big enough to throw over the end of a bed, the back of a couch, or a sleeping husband or child. Who could be bored under a quilt like this? It might even be fun as a large wall hanging. Darla has about 70 designs now on Spoonflower. Here are the fabrics for Where the Green Fern Grows.

I'm thinking of naming it "Fiesta Ferns".
AND, she has finally made her first quilt! She used one of her Christmas panels and free motion quilted it.

                                    

You can read about her experience here! Her young grandchildren are all claiming this as theirs! They were astounded seeing the entire process of making a quilt from designing the fabric on paper, working with it on the computer, ordering it, receiving it in the mail, and then making a quilt out of it. It was a magical experience for them! Only time will tell what kind of impact that has had on them.
