I finally got this quilt finished. I wish my mother, Eleanore, were here to see it. She wasn’t one to hand out compliments very much but I think she’d be happy.
I constructed it the way I do a lot of my quilts: start with something in the middle (in this instance it was simply a Fat Quarter that was too pretty to cut up) and then add different patchwork patterns around as I feel inspired. Or as I find something in my stash that I’ve, ahem, forgotten about or discarded.
For the back I found a beautiful piece of red and white floral fabric, one of French General’s designs. Like the center of the quilt top, it looks very Indian to me — something else I think my mother would have loved.
I am listing this quilt for sale in my Etsy shop. Just click on the BUY button at the top of my blog for a link to the shop: rkravenquilts.

That is beautiful I love the colours and fabric you used. So much talent seen in your handiwork. I bet there is a story behind many of the fabrics. Love it. A real work of art. Well done.
