Mary Dittenber just finished quilting this quilt shown for the Calico House and I had asked here to quilt it as if the rectangles where individual tiles. She certainly met my expectations and will be talking about this quilt in her 1:45 demo and talk. Some times you know just what you want , but she will discuss how she chooses quilt designs for those customers who have no ideas when they drop their quilts off. The pattern is called Sassy Fats and uses 13 fat quarters and two border fabrics.The fabrics are from Michael Miller and kits are available.

A little bird told me there will treats for those who attend.
