Photo-a-Day - December 2012 - Day 16: Quilt

I am the granddaughter of quilters and blessed to now have 10 hand-made quilts.  For me to take up quilting, would have been too many coals to Newcastle.  Instead, I did needlepoint, but loved the idea of coming my love for both.

The small quilt was made for my mother when she was small.  The wonderful book in which I found quilt-square patterns adapted for needlepoint is "More Needlepoint from America's Great Quilt Designs" by Mary Kay Davis and Helen Giammattei.
