Nine Patch Parade

This is the largest quilt I think I have ever made...well, from 2003-2004. It was for Emmy, when she lived with Katie on Halpin. The original size was 67 1/2 x 82 1/2 but we added and extra 5 inch border to make it big enough to fit her bed...it ended up being 80x100. She had come to WI for a visit and she and Mark choose all the colors...at Calico, my favorite quilt shop. I started it in Feb and didn't finish this monster until June. It really wasn't too challenging but just big and bulky. I splurged and came out of my ordinary box and had it quilted with variegated thread...it matched the colors in the quilt perfectly. I thought it all matched Em's personality too.
