The Quilt

First up, the quilt.  I had told Amber I would make her a quilt in Nov 2015.  I thought I would have it done as a Christmas gift. Then an Easter gift. Maybe Mother's Day gift....

It became a "back to school" gift.  Needless to say she was very excited.

I must say, I was proud of myself because I appliqued on the anchors before figuring out the design for the rest of the quilt.  I gave her several options as to what I would be able to do to make it, she tweaked one and that was the design.  I am grateful that my sister Diane came up to help.  I have trouble with backing and layering.  She is an expert.  We were able to get it assembled in 2 days, then I took the remaining week to tie and quilt it.

The color scheme is navy blue, grey, and white.  I don't know why the colors look so different than what it actually looks like.  If you do Facebook, what Amber posted looked much nicer. :)
