Commemorative Quilt


I made a commemorative quilt for the Foote Family Association raffle held in July 2015 in Salt Lake City, Utah.


I love the "row along" 2014 pattern by American Quilting with its beehive, hexie flowers, and bees. 



I thought it would make a great centerpiece for a quilt made in honor of a family event in Utah, the Beehive State.



I quilted it by machine except for the hand quilting around the beehive and the flower vines.


I included some orphan blocks in the backing.


My maternal grandmother was a Foote, so I dedicated this quilt to her.


My sister, Jolene, ended up with this quilt.  I couldn't be happier!  I like it so much that I have a top completed for myself as well.  Now for the quilting!
