This quilt has been a long-term project begun as a friendship exchange among 12 ladies in 2015. We each made 13 blocks using a brown floral fabric. After exchanging them, each friend would end up with a full set of 12 blocks, plus we had an extra set to use for a donation project. After marinating for 2 years, a donation quilt was completed in June 2017 from the extra set of blocks we made, and the quilt was donated to a local fund raiser. However, I still had my own set of blocks to work with and chose to make my own quilt nearly identical to the donation version because I liked the layout.
The color in this picture isn't very true, as the blue here is really a teal and much more greenish. Once it's bound, I'll share a photo of the finished quilt. And I need to make a label to include the name of each lady involved in the exchange so I won't forget any friends.

Listing the names of the ladies who made the blocks on the label is a great idea. The swirling quilting design is attractive. I'm eager to see the completed quilt.
