All for One

Naming a quilt is sometimes hard to do and other times it comes easily. The last quilt I made was a king and since I always referred to it as "The King," it stuck. This one has been harder to name; it is beautiful and fun to make, but the backstory is where the name comes from.

 Jessica and I were shopping for fabric for her daughter's Christmas stocking, and came across the beautiful fan fabric that I used in the big blocks. There was only a yard and a half available, but she had to have a quilt made out of it. I spent the next 4 moths looking for it and pieces to go with it. Finally the new line came out and it still matched the old line, and we have a quilt. So since this quilt came to be, all because of one piece of fabric its name will be, "All for One."

In March I finally got the girls so try a quilt. Tamara and I made the Japanese quilts last year but this was Lana's first quilt and we made the top in one night. You can find the pattern we used here . We opted to take out all the little strips and still had enough to make the quilt. These went together very nicely however at times we felt like we would never reach the end. These are off at the quilters and when we get them back I will post pictures.

So it has been a while and I now live on the beautiful island of Okinawa, Japan. I have been blessed with some amazing friends here and this year for Christmas I made us all quilts since we had our gift exchange today I can now post pictures of our awesome quilts. We will all be able to look at these and remember the times we had on this wonderful island. My friend Marisa will be leaving us soon to go back to the states so I really wanted to give her a good going away gift but fell in love with it and had to make one for our friend Lana and myself as well.
