Made from the pattern Green Tea and Sweet Beans by Jen Kingwell with primarily Kaffe Fassett fabrics.
This quilt just came home from the International Quilt Festival in Houston. It was entered in the Balanced Pieced and Applique category. The pattern is Jen Kingwell's Green Tea and Sweet Beans, made primarily in Kaffe Fassett fabrics. Its name comes from the teal border fabric that features verses from Amazing Grace. I named it Amazing Grace for three reasons -- the border fabric design, the hymn Amazing Grace was my late mother-in-law's favorite song and she inspired me to quilt, and there are so many errors in this quilt that I need a lot of grace from those who appreciate it. The challenges in this quilt and the fabric choices I made motivated me along the way.
