13. Puzzling Pieces

Made for Aaron as a 21st birthday gift. He's done puzzles all his life and as soon as I saw this on the cover of Foundation Piecer (a magazine I subscribed to for years), I knew it was the perfect quilt for him.

This is the first time I had used batiks. And also, in retrospect, the first time I realized that just because the pattern was designed to be a queen-sized bedspread, it was okay to make it smaller if I wanted to. This quilt is huge!

It was entered into the Big Fresno Fair in 1999 and won 2nd place. Judge's comments: "Beautiful use of batike fabrics! Wonderful workmanship and pressing."

I also sent a picture of the completed quilt Foundation Piecer and they published it in Letters to the Editor.
