40. Stop the Recount

 I loved the fabrics individually--but wasn't especially happy with the finished quilt. So since the colors were Oregon Ducks colors (well, almost), I added a fun backing (license plates from almost every state but Oregon!) and gifted it to Derek Stutzman, who lived with us spring semester 2003.

22. Guilty as Charged

I always think of this quilt when I think of Harry Potter--I listened to a couple of Harry Potter books while I made this quilt. I think I ended up giving it to Derek Stutzman.

17. Material Evidence

This was a bedspread for Aaron and Christa's first home. My first "mystery" quilt; Christa picked the fabric--a light, a medium and a dark. Although it's hard to tell from the poor quality photo, the dark was purple, medium was lavender and light was cream.

Every month for six months, I picked up a "clue" at Quilter's Paradise. It gave cutting and sewing instructions in progressive fashion but we didn't know what the final quilt would look like until the last month when the clue was how to put all the pieces together.
