Another real beauty! Barn raising pattern --

I worked this pattern out -- doing light and dark.

Ive not been that good at doing the whole quilt thing of light and dark -- but, this quilt really shows it off.

      The batting in this quilt is a old fuzzy thick blanket from my Grandmothers stash!

It was iron and sometimes had a hornets nest somewhere inside. That is the truth!  But, it was on a screen porch near the lake. I loved it there. And, this quilt is now part of the memory even though it never was.  Here is the first quilt.
