Kindred Spirits Quilt

I made this quilt for my great niece, Quinn.  The fabric panel is called Kindred Spirits: Anne of Green Gables based on the book "Anne of Green Gables".  I also made a matching pillowcase.  The quilt top is a fabric panel that looks like it was pieced together.  The back fabric is Anne of Green Gables farmhouse and trees, etc. on a pink background. 

I quilted it using stitch in the ditch method and free motion quilting: meandering in the center area and various designs in the outer block areas.  This was made in March of 2021.

All American Girl

For Emily's birthday:
