It's a small lap quilt ( I wish I had more cashmere!) but just big enough to stay cozy this winter.
As always when I make a quilt I am inspired by the quilters of Gee's Bend.
Thank you, Ariane as always, for remembering me.

::COVER::
Ariane is hosting this week's drawing challenge. I did not think I could have the focus to come up with something so I had put it out of my mind. Instead this weekend on a whim I started making this quilt out of felted cashmere. A dear friend gave me a huge bag of her thrifted cashmere sweaters. The weekend weather was just cool enough and the kids preoccupied enough that I put my headphones on and sniped and stitched away! After posting on Instagram the fruit of my labors, Ariane pointed out the sweet serendipity of my quilt and this week's theme. So, here it is...my Cover.

Beautiful job! I love all the colors, and it looks so soft and warm!
you have been floating on the tide of quilting. marvelous!
A beautiful sea of pattern and colours! Perfect to wrap and warm when you sit at the coast, watching the sundown and the tide.
As usual, you knocked it out of the park! Love it! I'm grateful every evening for the one you made me! (Very very belatedly)
Great looking quilt, love the colours!
