CARIBBEAN CRYSTALS


In November, sisty and I went on a lovely Caribbean cruise with Bonnie Hunter and Pat Sloan.  Bonnie taught us a pattern she named Mai-Tais in Paradise.  I decided to call mine Caribbean Crystals, since I just couldn't see mai-tais in mine.  One of the punch colors in the border is a bold lime green, so I backed this quilt with lime green flannel.


The McTavishing is a little dense for this quilt, but I used a variegated thread, and everything blended in nicely.

Tomorrow I will put the purple batik binding on this quilt.  I also have a small wall hanging that I will finish and show you as well.  Stay tuned.

And don't forget to leave comments so I know you've visited!
