X's & O's Just for you ~ Hugs and Kisses

This,  

My darling -- measures 60" x 60" as a square.  

This quilt trip ---  began back in January 2024 @ the NE Community Wellness Center, NE OKC as I taught my (I'm possessive of this ladies....)... this wonderful group of first-time quilters.   Oh and did they ever learn!

The age-old Hugs and Kisses pattern was adaptable starting with the 7" square and the 4" squares being made into HST's.  

I worked at OK Quiltworks and the bolted fabric had several rows of varied oranges.... so it was a cinch to use.  The individual X/O's made a 13" block four across and four down.  

So here I am... a year later teaching a new SNOWBALL beginner quilt pattern for a new group of ladies!

Thus, I decided to take this quilt top and add the batting and backing!

The backing was my inspiration!!!!!  It was a gift of six yards of YARDSALE African fabric stash-give away!   Dropped off at my front door last month.

The Lord has a really really nifty way of bringing all things together.... for good, for joy and comfort!

African Elephants and Masked-Women ( I imagine) all with just the right tinge of orange   

Now... I'm pulling out my heart strings..... 

I love Ann.   

I love the quilt!   

PERFECT MATCH!   

Keep Stitchin' My friend!
