Nancy's version of Aunt Millie






This is Nancy's version of Aunt Millie's Garden by Piece o' Cake designs.  She didn't like the way the border vines ran off the edge of the borders in the pattern  so she redesigned them to connect. 




 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I like Nancy's bold use of color.  She used up a lot of scraps up in this quilt.













This was quilted with So Fine using Hobb's wool as batting.





 
 




I quilted this for Betty a while back.  It just won Best of Show at the Oklahoma City Winter Quilt Show - congratulations Betty!

  4. Two beautiful quilts, and the quilting is fantastic. I love how you have used the straight lines on the outer part of the border and the pebbling and swirls on the inside of the vines.
