This quilt is an exact replica of Mary Mashuta's All Season Garden Quilt, found in Kaffe Fassetts Quilt Road book (pub 2005).
I love the zig zags on this quilt and hope to make the pattern again in different fabrics one day.
The backing is two tone, mainly because I didn't have enough of one!!!
300 quilts have been donated so far, with the target set for 700. You can learn lots more about this quilt drive here, this site also tells you what sort of quilts are needed as well as where to send the completed quilts. Jackie (Canton Village Quilt Works) has also generously offered to quilt up to 5 quilts if anyone has a spare quilt top lying around...though I imagine those five spots will go super fast!!!
Mine has been washed and now just needs a label. It will be packed off on Tuesday. I hope it can bring some warmth and comfort to someone in need.
As an added note: please keep the east coast of the US in your thoughts and prayers as Hurricane Irene is currently threatening and it doesn't sound good. xo

PS Thanks for your lovely comment over at Mulgrave Makers. xx
Thanks so much for the mention!! This quilt is just gorgeous!! I love it and I know it will be loved. We are still not home yet and are getting ready to fly home tomorrow. I know that our home now has power, but still no phone, TV, or Internet. But on the bright side not any damage! Thanks so much for your generosity!
This is just so pretty and I really like the zig zag too - and what a good cause. ;)
That is so incredibly stunning. I can't believe how great it turned out.
Hi Cathy
Your quilt is absolutely wonderful!
