112. Amish Stars

The pattern, Swoon, by Camille Roskelley was very popular around this time. It was basically an upsized version of a traditional block. I decided it would be a great design for the MCC quilt auction and chose Oakshott cotton and organic black solid by Robert Kaufman, giving it somewhat of an Amish feel.

I can't say enough about Michael Oakshott, who gave me a very generous discount on the fabric after I told him a little about MCC and its work around the world. He took my word for the plans for this quilt totally on faith, even though I told him it would be two years before it would be auctioned off. Thank you, Michael!

Choosing the different color combinations was one of the best parts of making this quilt.

It was no small feat to photograph these MCC quilts. 

Once again, it was hung in the front. 

The quilt sold for $3500.
