Susan Law - II

The final quilt is shown at the top of the page, but here is a slightly bigger version of that image, without the borders.

Susan created this lovely quilt depicting her childhood home. She wrote to Cynthia saying, "Last year I sent you a photo of a quilt I did from one of your patterns. I thought you might me interested in seeing my first attempt at drafting a pattern following your instructions from your book. Remember, this is my first attempt so don't expect miracles! I had fun doing it and will do more." She shared some of her steps for developing the quilt, along with picture for each step.

"I traced the photo for the major elements and then had it enlarged by 300%."

"From the enlargement, I sectioned and chose fabrics."

Here is a more detailed view of the flag detail. Susan says "They are hard to see in the photo but there are Swarovski crystals in the stars of the flag, in the rosebush, and in the trees."

"I cropped the photo and enlarged it before tracing."
