Black and White with Red

( above) Detail on one of the throw pillows that goes with Kristin's quilt
This is Elke's first quilt( I am not lying ) and she mitered both borders. She committed to making a quilt for her youngest daughter's (Kristin) wedding . Wow! Enjoy Kristin and Aaron

Elke's mother was a professional seamstress and used sewing to help support her family. She was a perfectionist to the end and it rubbed off on Elke. This quilt is an absolute spectatular oversized queen . My backyard deck does not do justice to it . I must find a better setting for large sized quilts.
