This was made for a friend in exchange for a beautiful Mah Jongg set that incorporated her love of color and textiles in its restoration. The quilt is based on the "In Full Bloom" pattern by Sue Spargo. It was challenging to convert a folk art pattern intended for hand stitching on wool into a contemporary style cotton quilt done completely by machine. I think the final product retained the spirit of the original pattern and incorporated the style of my friend's work. Making it was a wonderful tribute to friendships formed through the love of games and fabric arts.
