I remember a baby quilt I made with large applique butterflies. These were cut from polycotton fabric and were a bear to applique. I look forward to reading more about your quilting history.Miki Willahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01903615512823465964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917917507311549858.post-31563816415435734802011-11-15T01:25:47.627+00:002011-11-15T01:25:47.627+00:00How gorgeous of you to make Archie a gift in the s...How gorgeous of you to make Archie a gift in the shape of his favourite thing.

It's a king-size blue and brown log cabin, and one of the fabrics is poly-cotton blend too. I hand quilted that sucker, on a big quilting frame. The poly fabric has worn and pulled out of its seams in places, so the poor thing was a camping trailer quilt until my mom rescued it sometime back in the 90's. It lives on my parents' bed, patches and all.StuffandThingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12472977898008242622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917917507311549858.post-38276264037540511622011-11-14T15:44:08.667+00:002011-11-14T15:44:08.667+00:00What a lovely story!
