It began in January with a long visit to Mary Jo's to choose reds/pinks/yellows...
and blues/greens/teals.
which were cut into strips with the rotary cutter,
sewn into five strip pieces, and cut into 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 sections....
which were then pieced into 5 x 5 squares.
and arranged in an alternating pattern with 2 x 2 squares at the corners.
The night before we left, I finished the sewing the quilt top together.
The pattern is called Moutain Paths, from the Spring 1992 issue of Quiltmaker magazine.
Thanks to my sister-in-law, Lindele, for helping me choose a pattern that was manageable for a novice quiltmaker!
So glad I got the top done in time!
It did, of course, come back home with me for quilting and binding. I've promised to have it done before the cold weather comes, so since J and K will be living in Denver, it'll be top priority summer project!

beautiful. that would be my most treasured gift. I have kept all my 3 girls baby clothes, hoping one day to make a memory quilt like this.

It's beautiful, Beth! What a handy woman you are! :) I'm sure that will be a special treasure for them for the rest of their lives.
Wow, Beth. What an amazing gift to them! There aren't many who would put the time and effort into something that thoughtful. They are two blessed newlyweds...and I'm sure you feel blessed by them too. :)
I'd like to do something like this for my kids. What a beautiful treasure.
