Aine's Farm

I call this "Aine's Farm", made for my great-niece Aine Tenoch --she has both Celtic and Aztec ancestors.  It's 36 inches square. I'm getting pretty good at selecting parts of Kim's designs and using them in small quilts-- more manageable for me.  I know I'm never going to make a queen- or king-size appliqué quilt but I get enormous pleasure working on these smaller projects.  These handsome animals are from Pandemonium.  Fabrics by Kaffe of course.  It is hand-appliquéd and hand-quilted.  I can't wait to start another one.

  1. What a lovely and inspired idea. I'd like to make a queen sized quilt, but this is so much more doable. I'll have to consider them. This one is great! Aine's going to love it.

  5. just adorable , I have to admit to buying this pattern for the designs I knew it would be a long time before I make the whole quilt if I ever do!
    Love what you have done, Lucky Aine she will adore it I am sure.

  6. Lovely quilt, Leland, and such a fantastic idea to use parts of Kim's designs to make a new quilt. The larger quilts do take a long time to complete and I've been thinking that smaller quilts will be more achievable for me in the future.

    I love your choices in fabric. Pandemonium has been calling to me for some time. Maybe I will start on a little project first.
