This happy lady pictured above is Mary Wood from Australia. Some of you may remember that she won my leftover blocks from the Return to Sender quilt I made awhile ago. A few people have emailed me to ask what Mary ever did with those blocks, and I am happy to share the finished project with you. It seems that Mary put them blocks together with a simple solid lattice and has created a nice lap quilt.
Well done Mary! It is so great to see your work and what you did with those orphan blocks! Not orphans any longer, but a real quilt that will be enjoyed for a long time.
Something else interesting about Mary: she has over 30 grandchildren and got married to a lovely man named Peter in December. So you might ask yourself, how does she have any time for quilting????
Congratulations Mary, you are amazing!
