I made this quilt for my niece for a birthday present.  I found the purple fabric, Pumpkin Pie by Henry Glass, at a quilt shop that was going out of business a few years ago here in Logan.  I am really quite fond of purple, and this amazing fabric was just so beautiful! I was smitten. So I bought the whole bolt. At 80% off what else could I do?  Astounding deals don't happen every day.  


The picture is very busy, and with the whole name it doesn't look great, but in person it is cute.  

I used a deferent grunge fabric for each of the letters; I love grunge so much!  



Damon and I quilted this together; it's one of the last ones we did since we started our break from quilting at the shop.





In this close up, you can see that the fabric really is so pretty!  I used it for the backing too.



In the end, this quilt was really inexpensive because of the bargain on the Pumpkin Pie fabric! And very easy because all I did was put her name on it.  It's nice to make a simple quilt every now and then--it rejuvinates the soul and replinishes my love for the craft. 

Man! I miss you guys!
